If you scroll down you will see a few posts about whole grains. Even though I have discussed them in previous posts, I wanted to post them again in relation to current topic of diabetes. Whole grains, which include whole wheat bread, brown rice, wild rice, whole grain noodles, etc will help keep your blood sugars lowered compared to the white, refined products. Switching to whole grains will not only help your blood sugars, it will also aid in a healthy digestive tract and promote heart health. To ensure you have a true whole grain product, check the ingredient list under your label…the first ingredient should say ‘whole grain’ or ‘whole wheat’ ….if it says ‘enriched,’ it’s still a white product! Stay tuned to my next post regarding ways to enjoy your sweet treats without all of the added sugars!
