Eating Healthy with Diabetes

The Best Saturated Fats
The best saturated fats are those that our bodies can burn most easily to fuel our energy. These are the fats that are highest in medium-chain triglycerides.
Why We Crave Sugar and How We Can Overcome It
For most humans, the need for sugar starts at the beginning of life.
Drink More Water to Help With Your Diabetes
It is especially important for those of us who have diabetes to drink a lot of water, as unexciting as it is compared with all the other beverages that we have available.
The Crunch Factor for People with Diabetes
Those people who don’t have diabetes yet take the crunchiness of their food for granted. Who doesn’t eat tons of potato chips, corn chips, and nachos?
Nutrition Bars and Healthy Fats
Food technologists have come up with what they apparently consider a breakthrough in nutrition: “nutrition” bars with fish oil replacing some of the canola oil.
