My father ended up in the hospital due to covid. It caused him to develop diabetic ketoacidosis and he will now be on a strict diet to help get him back on track. I’ve been researching high and low as I will be preparing the majority of his meals when he goes home. There are very few RUclips channels that educate care givers on important facts on how to properly meal prep specifically for diabetics. Your momma needs to start a RUclips channel to educate the public and make meal plans specifically for diabetics and to help guide care givers on eating schedules and what to consume and what to stay away from. I promise it’s a much needed resource and this video is heaven sent for me. Thank you for posting it. 🙏
I agree! She needs to start a youtube videos.... I hate diabetic educators and dieticians....and for that matter, endocrinologists as a rule, but I feel like i would really like to learn for her mom.
Look up doctor Jason Fung.
Get your dad to a Diabetes Care And Education Specialist. Formally known as a CDE. They can help you.
I would NEVER serve a diabetic that many carbs. Please buy Dr. Fung books.
Dear me this is no good for a pre diabetic, never mind a diabetic on insulin, I eat veg as my carbs, even 2 ryvitas which spiked my blood glucose. No muffins that will really spike, see the Sugar MD no bagels whatsoever.
Wow this is so nice of you! As someone who is diabetic it’s so thoughtful of you to want to cater to him!!! Love your channel
Our fav diabetic desert is pineapple angel food cake

Low carb apple pie in the air fryer!
Slice up an apple, cover slices in cinnamon sugar, air fry at 350 for 10 minutes, serve with low sugar/sugar free ice cream on top!
Hi there! I am a type 1 diabetic on an insulin pump. Here are a few grocery suggestions: ole extreme wellness wraps (only 15 g of carb per serving, less is you subtract the fiber content) and taste delicious! I use it for breakfast wraps, sandwiches, tacos... You can find them at Walmart oh you can even cut them up as chips and air fry them with seasoning!) My suggestion for something sweet would be to try chocolate hummus (I typically get it from Aldi) because it's full of fiber it lowers the sugar content in is easier for us diabetics to digest with our glucose levels not going all whackadoo. I hope you and your family have a fantastic visit with your in-laws!!!
I haven't seen the chocolate hummus. Curious about what you have with it? I eat sugar free jello and strawberries. I have also purchased the low carb Mission tortilla and used Lily's sugar free chocolate chips and fried it in avocado oil then sprinkled powdered Swerve on it for a dessert treat. I think I will trying frying a tortilla and dust it with powdered Swerve and cinnamon.
I love it when your mom shows up in the videos! 😉
Frugal Fit Mom I rarely comment on videos that I watch but felt compelled to comment on yours. Your mom is awesome and I agree with what she said. I am also a diabetes educator (RN, CDCES) but my approach is a little different. I work in chronic disease management. Your mom is correct when she says it should be individualized instruction. A lot goes into the patient's plan of care. What other co-morbidities they have (hypertension, kidney problems, cholesterol, etc), medications, food likes/dislikes, recent labs, specific food triggers, weight loss goals. There really isn't a one size fits all but there are some general rules. Carbs are not the enemy - it's a common misconception in our society. They are a essential part of a person's diet - it's our fuel, especially for our brains (brain fog for people on very low carb diets). RDN (dietitians) usually approach this in grams of carbs. I approach it in portions of carbs with most of my patients with Type 2 Diabetes. I guess the bottom line is most people with diabetes can eat "regular" carbohydrates it just depends on the person and how much carb they can manage/handle. Please reach out if you'd like to chat further. P.S. I love your videos.
I totally agree, these horrible diets that people eat to help one condition just cause another. Carbs do not cause diabetes, high fat blocks the insulin so the cells can't use it.
@@Randilynn66 Type 2 diabetes is more about insulin resistance (I am assuming you have T2DM since you are on Metformin and Trulicity) and sometimes the cells actually "wake up" and take in too much of the glucose and this can result in hypoglycemia. It is very scary indeed. Especially if alcohol intake is a factor. The liver plays a major role in how the gut is "all married and works together". Protein/carbs combinations with all meals and snacks is so important.
The thing to remember is that the person with diabetes has to live with this diet for the rest of their life. They have to find a diet that is achievable and satisfies them. Other they will “ fail “ on the diet have poorly controlled diabetes and all the problems associated with this. Most important thing you can do when entertaining a diabetic, make sure you feed them regularly, ask them what they want to eat and don’t expect them to eat anything different than you would normally eat.
@@dianeshelton9592 exactly. It's a person with diabetes - not a diabetic. I don't like that term. When I sit down with my patients I ask them what's a typical day for them meal-wise. It has to work for them in their life. I also don't call it a "diet" as I use the foods the already eat and make it work for them. They have to live their lives. Control the diabetes and not have the diabetes control them. Of course, unless they have a steady diet of Ho-Hos and Twinkies I can typically work with it. Just tweak here and there. Find out what's important to them. Make sure it's a carb and protein together and portion the carb (not eliminate as someone with diabetes -or anyone- actually needs carbs. Very low restrictive carbs diets are not good for someone with diabetes). There is a lot obviously that goes into it (kidney function, lipids, hypertension, etc). that I take into consideration. It is necessary to work with the patient and not dictate to them. I don't want to set them up for failure but rather success. I also find explaining exactly what Type 2 diabetes is is helpful. Because if you understand it it helps you figure it out. It is also important to remember that Type 2 Diabetes is a progressive metabolic disorder and will get worse over time. What works today may not work in 5 years. Making sure my patients understand this (that it's not their fault) is instrumental.
Kelly McMurtrey that’s semantics, it doesn’t matter what you call a person with diabetes whilst you have people promoting diabetic diets.
It’s a lifestyle change for some people, for others it’s just tweaking their normal life.
To be honest I feel this whole video was poorly explained, her mother gave her good information in that the person with diabetes will know, whether they acknowledge it or not, what they can and can’t eat and if they have been properly educated will manage their medications to the food they are given. A lot easier for those with insulin, but for both type 1 and 2 diabetes the most important thing if you have a guest with diabetes is to feed them regularly a late meal can be very disastrous. That’s the most important massage, feed them what you would regard as a good healthy normal diet, don’t go out of your way to give them special meals ,but just be careful with meal timings.
Tips! I just did a huge grocery pickup from Walmart and I love them!! My favorites are
Salt and Vinegar Almonds
Breyers Carb Smart ice cream
Sugar free chocolate syrup and regular syrup
Joseph's pita and lavash bread
Kool Aid (made with Splenda!)
Light & Fit/ Oikos Triple 0 Yogurt
I also use stuff like lettuce for salad and wraps, lots of fruits and vegetables, turkey slices and cheese for snack and of course eggs, chicken, ground beef and even sausage and bacon.
Hope that helps! My go is beat my diabetes in 3 months so we can start trying for kids!
P.s. don't feel pressured to buy food that says Keto, lots of foods are diabetic friendly but might say sugar free or low sugar. You don't need everything to say they're keto friendly or low carb, sometimes they are low carb but just don't say it or say it in small text. Also if it's Keto friendly, it's likely more expensive. Try sugar free foods, they're not AS expensive but still more expensive then of course regular food but that's the price of health! Also use common sense and just look at labels.
Life of a Cait I love your tips about Keto labels! It’s so true!!
@@thisuniquechica Thank you! That means alot to me! ❤️
I'm diabetic and keep my carbs at 20 or less a day. definitely on keto!
Good for you! You are doing the right thing
T1 here. I try to stay as low as possible with the carbs. I would love to eat bread but I love my legs more.
@@TheEmily1218 🙌 yes! High five to you!
You are awesome! I have a family member who struggles with her diet as a diabetic. This will help her tremendously. Please continue to be a blessing to others.❤️
I really enjoyed the segments with your mom. Thanks to you and your mom for taking the time to film this content!
I love that you are so thoughtful of your in laws. I am type 1 diabetic diagnosed as a juvenile, my son is 15 and just diagnosed as type 1 as well. It is a balancing act for sure! I have noticed that something you would not think would spike a blood sugar does, and sometimes it don’t. It can just depend on the cycle of your body.
Your so wholesome and genuine. I really like your attitude and the way you help your family. Thanks so much for making videos.
Yes! Anne Burrell! She's the one who really taught me not to just "grey" meat when I make things like tacos or stuff that goes from searing into the oven, but to really "brown" food. "Brown food tastes good," I hear her say whenever I'm making something with a browned/seared meat in it.
I stayed til the end and I am super excited to hear about your possible masters!!! You would be awesome at that! ❤️💁🏻♀️
I’m currently LC/keto and when I want something sweet (which isn’t often) I go for sugar free jello with whipped cream from the can.
thats also my go to sweets. sugar-free jello with sugar-free whip. it usually takes care of the sweet tooth
You would be better off with proper cream.
Sugar free jello is full of rubbish too. 🙈
Claire Baker I’m perfectly fine with rubbish from time to time. You do you.
As a type one diabetic who has an insulin pump and a sensor, I was very interested in what you and your mother were talking about. I also see a nutritionist who helps me with my meals. I never considered myself to be a low-carb eater, but from the information your mother gave, under 100 carbs a day is low carb. I try to keep mine lower than that. I try to keep my meals at 50 carbs per meal. Whenever I get a new recipe, I enter all the ingredients into an app so i can break it down nutritionally so I will know how many carbs I am eating. I am 60 years old and have had diabetes for 60 years. I know how important food is to a diabetic and your mother is right. Each diabetic is different. My father and two of my sisters were also diabetic. And we all have to face eating differently. I think it's wonderful that you were trying to help your father-in-law stay on a good meal plan while he's visiting you. Not everybody would do that. I love your videos. And I think it's good to get a professional nutritionist to explain it to us. Diabetes is a very big problem in the United States and I think it's growing innthe type two diabetics because of the way we eat.
Wow a type one diabetic for 60 years, that's encouraging. My son is also a type one diabetic since 11 years old and is 17 now, I thought 6 years was a long time .
It's amazing how different all us diabetics are. I can't eat 40 grams of carbs a day let alone a meal :( Keto/paleo is pretty much the only diets I can follow to keep my A1C low.
Same, I'm limited to 20-25 carbs per day...plus Metformin.
I so want to get to doing Keto. We tried before and I didn't lose any weight but I wasn't gaining either (always a plus) It's hard for me to get back at it and I'm not sure why. Anyway I know I couldn't eat that many carbs for MYSELF in a day.
Phyllis Roark Hi! Please check out Tara & Jeremy at Tara’s Keto Kitchen here on RUclips. She can help you! She’s a registered dietitian and expert in the keto diet. She does a livestream every Sunday @4:00pm Central time where you can ask questions and get motivation.
I agree Molly. Guidelines have changed. 45-60 carbs a meal for me would send my blood sugar through the roof. I don’t have that many carbs in a day...sometimes two. When I followed the “old school” diabetic recommendations my a1c went to 11.2 😬. Keto is the only way of eating diet I can really keep my numbers in check.
Some of this is knowing your own body and also knowing whether you are insulin resistant. My doctor told me that I have the worst insulin resistance that she has seen. I couldn't get my A1C down and was beginning to show signs of a problem with my liver and bleeding in my eyes. I started doing low carb and fasting and I am staying below 7.5 and the liver enzymes are gone as well as no bleeding in the eyes. I also have my cholesterol on the good side rather than bad. Since I am a type 2 diabetic, I am hoping with the diet, exercise and weight loss that I can completely reverse mine eventually. I wish you all luck in your journey.
I’m here for your moms no nonsense approach to food and dieting. Such productive and great answers!
Yay! Thank you!
I loved this video. We got glimpses of your mom but it was great to see her in her element and sharing her knowledge with us.
Totally stayed to the last credit, lol! Obtaining my Masters Degree and National Board Certification have been my proudest professional accomplishments. Go for it!!!
Holla from the dietitians in the room!! Your mom is amazing, as a "baby" dietitian (celebrating 5 years as an RDN), I definitely look up to her and glad you added her into this conversation 💜
Thank you!
My husband is diabetic and he and I have switched to a Keto diet. It has done wonders for his glucose levels - he has been able to stop his insulin injections. As for low carb ice cream - there are several videos on making it at home. Also, Enlightened and Rebel Creamery make some really tasty options but they are a bit spendy. Try substituting chayote squash for the apples in an apple crisp and use stevia, erythritol, monk fruit, or allulose for the sweetener. I will say that some sweeteners (like erythritol) have a slightly different taste but are still quite yummy. A good simple dessert is heavy whipping cream and a sugar-free flavoring whipped to stiff peaks is easy and delish.
Rebel ice cream is soooo good,it's my new favorite ice cream.
Absolutely love your channel, so glad I found it. :)
Awesome video. I was just diagnosed with diabetes last week and this really made it easy to see how to put my doctor's recommendations into practice. Love your channel!
I hope we get a video or two with the in-laws around, Christine.
Thank you for doing this and cant wait for the grocery haul
Low carb veggies off the top of my head greenbeans, cucumbers, cabbage, broccoli
Corn, sweet potatoes, and regular potatoes are big nos
Courgette, peppers, cauliflower, eggplant, carrots, tomato too. Ratatouille is a flavourful side.
Brussels sprouts are a great low carb veggie too! I always serve Brussels sprouts with bacon as a side dish at family gatherings and my dad gets to feel like he's splurging without having to worry too much about spiking his blood sugar.
First of all can I say that I love your channel I watch you every single day you are absolutely amazing! And I cannot believe that you came out with this video today of all days because yesterday my husband was diagnosed with diabetes and I was freaking out about looking up recipes and doing all kinds of stuff for him and long behold here you are saving the day as usual. Stay amazing please continue making content every day forever so I can be entertained love your channel I love your family!!
My daughter, who is 20 now and diagnosed type 1 at 4, has a favorite dessert: get a sugar pudding mix (chocolate is great!) and instead of milk use heavy whipping cream. Use hand mixer to mix till thickened up. Keep in fridge for at least 5 minutes. It's like a low sugar mousse. It's so good!
Corn on the cob be careful lots of carbs
Isabelle Breton that’s what I was thinking. My husband loves corn and green peas but I was told to limit them due to the amount of carbs they contain.
Corn and products should be eliminated. 2 hrs later he will not be on target. Grits cereal snacks no way
When I had gestational diabetes, I was allowed 45net-15net-45net-15net-60net.
The night time carbs could be split 45net for dinner and 15net for a snack, or all for dinner. I highly recommend high fiber wraps, specifically the xtreme wellness high fiber, for both wraps and burritos because they are 4 net carbs.
Thank you for this I've been wanting to meal prep for my mom and this has come in handy 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼
Protein + veggies is the best way to go. Herbs and spices are your friends.
You mentioned tacos. I am diabetic and one of our favorite summer salads is black bean and corn salsa. So easy to prepare. 1 can black beans, 1 can corn, 1 bell pepper diced, 1 small white onion, 1 diced tomato, 1 cup diced fresh cilantro. You can double it, add veggies you have on hand. You can eat it just like this but I add 1/4 c white vinegar and 3 tablespoons Splenda. We eat it plain or with tortilla chips.
So needed this one!
This is awesome. Thank you for doing a diabetic video! I have diabetes, and even though I eat to my meter, a lot of carb counting diabetics will find this extremely informative.
My personal favorite lower carb swap is zoodles! As a vegetarian, I love finding new zoodle recipes!
Super informative video! My mom and dad are both diabetics and they are on very different wavelengths when it comes to food. Thank you so much for the video and information. Your mom was super helpful ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Don't forget that fruit and vegs are carbs. More healthy carbs, but carbs nonetheless. For example, 100 grams of carrots has 10 grams of carbs.
Stella Z I have been taught threw my drs I don’t count certain carbs in a lot of veg inc carrots and corn. Not implying your wrong just noticing a difference
@@jacimurphy3142 That's interesting Jaci. It could be really helpful for you to look this up for yourself. Maybe there was some misinformation or confusion with your doctor. Vegetables and fruit are carbohydrates. Generally speaking the sweeter or more mild vegetables are have a higher carb content (eg corn/carrots) whereas a more bitter vegetable is usually lower carb (eg kale/brussel sprouts). I hope that's helpful! Theres tonnes of information online and in books listing the GI (glycemic index) of foods. This is an list of foods in order of how much sugar (aka glucose/aka carbohydrates) are in them. That could be really helpful for you :)
Delcellashaw glad someone addressed this!
@@tiaramarie1295 :) thank you!
@@jacimurphy3142 I wouldnt count carbs in carrots but i would count carbs in corn. thats the official recommendation from the american diabetes association and american dietetic association
You said they don't care much about breakfast and lunch. As a diabetic I'm freaking out. My Doctors all say no skipping meals and your breakfast needs to have plenty of protein to get you started for the day and keep your sugar from climbing.
I mean, they EAT but it's not their favorite meal. They like to snack more
Thank you so much for actually talking to your mom. I have been a Type 2 Diabetic for 15 years. I went into DKA from trying Keto for a year, two years ago. Finding out from an actual dietitian is such an amazing tool. Each person is specifically different. I run on 45 grams per meal with two snacks of 15 - 30 grams. Some people are able to do Keto. But I loved how you said each person needs to work with a dietitian and find specifics. THANK YOU! I will say I almost didn't click into the video due to the phrase "Diabetes meal plan with me" until i saw the Interview with a dietician part. Thank you for speaking up correctly.
Co-morbidity is a huge issue with keto too. Many diabetic people have high cholesterol & keto is soooo much fat. My mom's endocrinologist literally screamed at her when she asked if she should consider keto. It's definitely best to talk to a doctor rather than just jump on a fad diet bandwagon.
My BF is diabetic and when it comes to per meal carbs it is the net carbs he looks at, subtracting any fiber or sugar alcohols from the carb total. Another diabetic friendly lifestyle is the low glycemic index (GI) 'diet' which allows for eating carb containing foods that are less likely to spike blood sugar levels.
I’m a type 2 diabetic and on 3 insulin’s and 2 diabetic pills. Not to mention cholesterol meds and depression meds and so forth. You have truly started inspiring me to move more. I know I sooooo need to move. It’s obvious I’m morbidly obese as well. I know I haven’t got a choice. Hearing you talk about the 65 year olds and that you and Dave want to be able to move with the grands when that time comes is how I feel as well. I work with seniors at our church and I love this senior ministry so much. I need and want to do this for me first of all and to grow older with my hubby of 32 years. I want to do all with grands when they come. We have 2 grown boys and are empty nesters now. I want to take the seniors to so many places and have the energy to help them as well. Thank you for inspiring so many of us to move and take better care of ourselves. Thank you for being real and raw and so open. Love all your videos.
I would love to hear more from your mom! Specifically, more of her thoughts on how to stick with a diabetic diet. It’s extremely hard to flip a switch and just dramatically change how you eat overnight. Especially if you have been eating bad for most of your life. What resources are there to help with that transition. I have been a type 2 for about 7 years and I’m only 32. Food is my biggest love and worst enemy. The food addiction cycle is so hard to break. It’s such a struggle.
Using some of these ideas as were low carb!
We need more Low Carb meals! 😘
If you’re doing sweets, erythritol can cause digestive distress if you eat too much. Each person is so different. For example, my husband can only handle about 10-15 carbs a meal and keeps himself under 50 a day.
OMG!!! Good luck if you go for your Masters! That's so exciting!
I'm so confused. My doctor says as few carbs as possible for any diabetics.🙄 I was pre-diabetic. Stopped eating bread and levels went back to normal.
You should be low carb.
Sounds like you did the sensible thing and have a great doctor! 👍
Definitely seek out a dietitian!
You have a smart doctor!
@Cyndi Rothrock aren't beans lots of carbs?
Here is my go to dessert: cream cheese pie...
One container sugar free cool whip (not the can stuff)
Small container sour cream
2 bricks Philly cream cheese (use Philly)
1/3 c sugar (can us up to 1/2 c)
Small drizzle of lemon juice.
Mix cc, sour cream, sugar and lemon juice until creamy. Fold in cool whip
My parents use the premade Graham cracker crust.
I use almond flour, chopped nuts and melted butter to make my own crust.
Dump.in filling and refrigerate.
Usually best the next day. Top with berries
best dessert! learned this in WW's: ff or sf vanilla pudding, ff or sf cool whip, crushed pineapples, and mandarin oranges. miss the pudding with the juice of the pineapple, add the cool whip, add the pineapple... place in a graham cracker crust 🥧, smooth out, then arrange the mandarin oranges 🍊 clockwise then counter clockwise for a nice design.
Had to go back to the last part of this video to make sure I heard what I thought I heard. Good for you! Every Mom/woman should make the decision of what they want to do with their lives after raising their family.
We make chocolate pie with sugar free pudding, cool whip, and graham cracker crust. It's so simple. Make white chocolate, dark chocolate, and regular chocolate pudding, layer into the crust, and top with cool whip. Once it sets you can also freeze it for more of an ice cream feel.
This is so helpful! I have a diabetic family member coming to visit in a few weeks. Thank you!!
Love this! My brother had type 2 diabetes as a complication of hemichromitosis (so little or no iron in his diet as well). Looking forward to the food haul and recepies
I love this video as my husband was recently diagnosed with diabetes and we have also been restructuring our cooking to meet his needs and the family. For dessert, try a pavola! You'll need monk fruit or xylitol type sweetener. But very easy!
This video was timely. Just saw the doctor today and got blood work to check my A1C. This was a good reminder that I needed to be paying closer attention to my carb intake. Thanks to you and your mom!
So helpful, would honestly like more ! You’re so down to earth, relatable and easy to follow/ understand. Our 9 yo grand daughter was just diagnosed with type 1 diabetes so i am gobbling up as much information, tips i can. This is going to be our FAMILIES way of meal planning…. And brutal honesty this is a LOT for anyone, especially young kiddos. Lots of blood sugar checks and insulin shots all day.
I LOVE that your mom says diet is a 4 letter word!! My mom's still eats candy every day, just eats it earlier & a little bit less than she used to & got her A1C back into a healthy range & got off of metformin. We've both found better health & peace not restricting any foods, allowing sweets prevents binges!
Nice of you, I am a diabetic and happy to see this.
yikes. Type 2 diabetic here. I try to stay under 30 grams of carbs per day. Trying to manage diabetes with food instead of medicine.
Smart.
That’s great that it works for you, I’m type 1 and even with counting carbs I need insulin
I am diabetic and stopped all high carb food and switched to the complex carbs. Never eat processed foods and do exactly what you said. Proteins and lots of salads and vegetables. Love curries and Mediterranean foods and never eat bread. I supplement with hummus and beans and lentils. I do eat fruit but keep it low. I eat lots of fish and never feel I’m deprived. However I do know that if I don’t include complex carbs I feel hungry and not satisfied. Frozen chunks of dipped banana in 70% choc and frozen are a satisfying treat. . Keeps my fingers off buying a kit kat that I live. Love your channel Christine. Can’t wait to see your recipes you make for your dad
To answer your question: You cease to exist. The tacos never ever run out. I won’t have it. Not in my America. Patrick Henry once said “Give me liberty or give me death!” Well, I have it on good authority that he meant to say tacos. I can’t reveal my sources so don’t ask! 😂
🤣😂
Love your Mom 💓
The timing of this video is so great for me. My friend's diabetes is out of control. Never has he addressed his diet. I offered to help by preparing some dinners each week. I need to build a variety of ideas. Would you consider doing more low carb/diabetic meal videos? That would be super helpful and much appreciated❤
PS- Tacos are my love language 🌮❤ I'll never quit them!
I’m so pleased you did this cause many people think it’s the sugars you have to watch n nothing else when you’re diabetic,well done you x💖x
You are so thoughtful and sweet 💕. What a great host and daughter in law 👍 I mean wow you’re so kind. This is a great video thank you for sharing.
I am trying to make diabetic-friendly freezer meals so I was really pleased to see that you did this
It was wonderful to hear from an expert! And she is so right, googling info can get so confusing. I would love for her to weigh in on the keto diet: high fat, moderate protein and low carb. (Included that description because a lot of folks think a keto diet is high protein, low carb.)
Great video good start w a plan !!! Love your ideas!!!
Thank you for sharing this. I am A diabetic myself so i love this 👍
Thank you for including the information from your mom about carbs not being inherently bad and giving her credentials. I'm coming from the eating disorder world and my only experience with dietitians is from being in ed treatment. So what she talks about is actually closer to that experience than I thought it would be.
I love how you linger at the end one day I think your gonna jump back on like SYKE I’m still here lol 😂 love it 😻 never enough FFM
I love seeing your videos everyday. I’m sure it is a ton of work, but thank you!
Love your mom😀 would love to see more q & a's with her.
Yes!!! I never comment on videos, but thank you so much for doing this! I was just diagnosed as a diabetic and unfortunately my drs office does not have anyone who can help me - the lady was suppose to take a class before the pandemic hit to help diabetics but unfortunately got cancelled, I have looked for recipes for diabetics and just cannot find anything good.. that I want to eat. SO THANK YOU! You are literally saving my butt & possibly saving my life with this meal plan
I never comment on videos either. I was diagnosed as a Type 2 diabetic last November. I had one meeting with a diatician and was supposed to have a follow up in March. Then COVID happened. If you have access to Pinterest there are hundreds of delicious recipes on there. Or you can go to the American Diabetes Association website and get excellent meal ideas and education for free. I started my journey at an A1C of 7.4 and with just changing my diet (no medication) in 6 months I dropped it down to a 6.4. I hope this helps along with the terrific ideas from Frugal Fit Mom's videos! Have a wonderful day!
Oops...Correct spelling *Dietician
Thank you so much for this! My Dad is diabetic and having issues keeping his sugar at a decent level. This really helps.
Also, good luck with your classes! The stress will be worth it!
You are a wonderful daughter in law.....I am a diabetic...have been for 30 years...your Mom is very good,her advice is spot on...what makes it so hard is that we are humans and we want what we want....even if it isn't good for us...it is harder than anyone can imagine to change everything all at once....and people who are not diabetic never really understand all of the things that means....may I suggest that you ask him what time food schedule he is on....for example I take an injection of a medication called Byetta...30 minutes later I take my insulin and 30 minutes later I eat my meal...I do this morning and evening...lunch time is injection free....but the timing is very important to help keep those numbers where they belong....you are amazing...no one in my family has ever cared enough to ask me...so being the redhead I am...I let them know what I am doing for meals...since they are necessarily different then theirs...good luck...I am sure you will do well...because you care enough to try....
Note to self. Send Christine the next copy of the Big Diabetes Cookbook that I trip over. I usually find one every month or so in the thrift stores. our local thrift stores were very good with diabetes books. an infant care books when I thought I was going to raise the son of my late fiance.
How sweet of you to work so hard to make your family member feel supported. My only tip is to watch the marinades. They can be high in sugar. Enjoy your family.
As a dietician, I’m curious your moms view on keto with diabetics. Since I myself am a type 2 diabetic (but diet controlled thanks to keto and losing over 100lbs) it has been a huge success and reduced my numbers tremendously.
This was a very informative and thoughtful meal plan though!
Biggest problem with Keto is high cholesterol and triglycerides which are extremely dangerous.
@@Adventureswithbecky I disagree. I do clean keto and get blood work regularly. I’ve never had better blood work and reduced my A1C from a 14.5 to 5.4. Keto/low carb has literally saved me.
@@TheMamaMel What is clean Leto?
@@vivafamilia7867 Eating foods that are one-ingredient. Like meats, vegetables, low-carb nuts, and maybe cheese.
Thank you so much for doing this video. I'm going to pass this video on to my sister-in-law who is taking care of my father-in-law he has diabetes along with Alzheimer's and Dementia.
I have thought about going back to school to be a Registered dietitian. I'm a little overwhelmed with the thought of the amount of school and the tuition and stress.
Oh my goodness! I just got that same list from Walmart. I love it.
@Dusty health ok?
That segment with your Mom was really cool! Would love to hear her speak more on how fads and knowledge have evolved over the years (wasn't there a time where butter was demonized and margarine was the in thing?). If you do start the sports nutrition degree, that would be absolutely amazing!
Why can’t I heart this??? This is awesome! I contacted you about diabetics!!
Yesssss FRUGAL FIT MOM THANKYOU IM RECENTLY DIAGNOSED IM READY TO REVERSE IT!!!!
Cookie recipe. Gluten, sugar, dairy, and egg-free. I had to make these because a friend had a daughter who couldn't eat any of those. She was 13 and just always disappointed at parties, especially around the holidays. So, I whipped up something crazy to prove it could be done. I bought an egg replacer in a box but you can really just sub tapioca flour. It's a one-two ratio for these cookies. First, gluten-free flour (I had to use rice flour because she couldn't have wheat at all, but any GF flour will work. Wheat will make them thicker and chewier, rice will be thinner and more brittle.) A non-dairy butter (I used Earth Balance). Because of the high sodium in this, you don't need any salt or baking soda. Monkfruit sweetener (this is non-glycemic and tastes pretty much identical to sugar. It comes in golden and white but they taste the same.) Finally, I tried half with almond milk and half with soy milk. The almond milk had better consistency but if there are nut allergies involved, you can obviously use soy. Obviously, check the label and some are not 'pure' and that can be a disaster! I also added just a little water because it is extremely crumbly when using rice flour (this changed with GF wheat flour). Finally, I made a party batch so the amounts were enormous and I'll omit that here. Any standard sugar cookie recipe amounts will work, with the exception of the egg replacer (as stated, you need two for every one egg. In this case, I believe it was one TPS of powder per egg mixed in water.) Bake for half the recommended cooking time and test, as they are quite thin (even for GF wheat) and will burn easily. For the RF version, I baked for just five minutes at a standard cookie size at 350, but ovens vary, so please just check them.
So helpful and timely! Diabetes is really so confusing!
I hope you will have more videos about diabetic meal prep
I stayed till the end and it played off yet again...loved the frank conversation with your mom. Makes me want to be a diatetition when I grow up. (Working on the last grad class for a teaching Masters this semester!) If you can leverage the resources for starting the degree you mentioned I encourage you to go for it!!!
I've been a t1 diabetic for 27 years. While that might be the amount of carbs we are supposed to eat, it's important to eat the "right" type of carbs.
Some of my favorite desserts when I'm trying to not do anything too "bad' are cinnamon apples(apples, butter, cinnamon, and Splenda) topped with whip cream, roasted peaches(peeled peaches sprinkled with cinnamon, salt, and honey) topped with whip cream and walnuts, and SF sweet potato casserole (mashed sweet potatoes, cream cheese,an egg, butter, cinnamon, salt and Splenda to taste). Those are my go to desserts. Obviously other spices can be used but cinnamon is mandatory for me. Lol
I teally enjoyed hearing from your mom. I am a type 2 Diabetic myself. Items that actually help my levels not spike so high is beans with a protien. Although this didnt always work for my mom. Truth diabetics can eat anything but just smaller portions. Do they like cheesecake? I can type out a nobake version I go to
Awesome I am a type 1 diabetes and I'm always running out of ideas to fix foods that won't spike my sugar can't wait to see what you cook up!
Could you do a how to video for this braided hair style? I for the life of me cannot figure out how to achieve this style. You always explain things so well that maybe you can finally help me figure it out.
For women is from 30 to 45 carbs and for men is 45 to 60 carbs and 15 carbs for snacks.. I am a diabetic
Is that per meal or day?
@@donnamyers839 meal. it depends on your medication too
Hi I,m a diabetic it's a great vlog.Thank you for sharing your vlog from Michelle in Australia
Sugar free cheesecake is great! Use almond flour for a crust! For the Apple crumble I would use almond flour!
I like to make cheese cake stuffed strawberries, cream cheese, vanilla, and a sugar substitute powdered sugar piped into cored strawberries can use a crushed nut of choice to top the cream cheese like a small pie crust to top the cream cheese.
Perfect timing. I have my first appointment with a dietician on Monday for my diabetes, I'm so nervous.
I can’t wait to see the sous vide eggs in the instant pot.
If you make your dinner as meal prep and keep 4 on hand then make them keto. Then make crustless frittata or quiche for breakfast you could have a fourth of it. I think a cold lunch like salad or have some carb for lunch like sandwhich and bananas. Snacks are 200 cal and a protein like hard boiled eggs or protein shake. Make it easy
