Have they lied to you about food and diabetes?

"Have they lied to you about food and diabetes? Debunking myths! Attention! Have you ever been told that if you have diabetes, you must completely eliminate fruits, rice, or bread from your diet? If your answer is yes, I have something important to tell you: That's not entirely true!"

"Myth or truth? The problem: A flood of misinformation. Currently, the world of diabetes is filled with conflicting and often incorrect information. Many people, with the best intentions of controlling their condition, end up cutting out entire food groups from their diet without truly understanding how their own body works."

"This drastic elimination, far from being the solution, can lead to problems such as: Constant fatigue. Your body needs energy, and if you deprive it of adequate sources, tiredness becomes chronic. Food anxiety. Excessive restriction can create a tense and stressful relationship with food, leading to cycles of guilt and frustration. Unstable glucose spikes. Paradoxically, eliminating certain foods without a plan can make your blood sugar levels even more erratic."

"It's not uncommon to see people with diabetes reading labels with frustration, experiencing constant highs and lows in their glucose, and feeling lost in a sea of forbidden foods. The solution: Balance is key. The truth is that the key to managing diabetes and enjoying food doesn't lie in banning foods, but in learning how to intelligently balance them. Yes, you read that right: you can eat carbs if you know how!"

"The magic is in using your nutritional allies: fiber, protein, and healthy fats. When these components are strategically combined with carbohydrates, they can help you slow down glucose absorption, keep you feeling full, and stabilize your blood sugar levels. Imagine enjoying: A delicious bowl of oatmeal with seeds and berries. Brown rice accompanied by fresh vegetables and a lean protein source. Fruit combined with unsweetened plain yogurt or a handful of nuts. These are just examples of how the right combination can allow you to enjoy a variety of foods without compromising your health."
