Cooking Ideas for Juvenile Diabetes
Recently there was a commercial on television that had a
group of individuals looking totally perplexed as they walked out of their
doctor’s office. They had just been diagnosed with diabetes. Parents
experience the same feelings, as they realize the complexity of managing
their child’s diabetes care. One area of concern; finding cooking ideas, and
recipes that their children will like to eat.
Many parents are concerned that they will need to purchase expensive
diabetic food products. This is just not true. You can shop for groceries as
you normally would. However, there may be a few new items that you will
stock.
1.Replace oil and butter with vegetable oil sprays.
2.Use 2% , 1%, or skim milk
3.Use more spices, herbs, lemon and lime juice as seasonings.
4.Purchase whole grain cereals, pasta, and breads.
5.You will need sugar substitutes both white and brown.
6.Purchase sugar free juices and drinks.
Another change that you will need to make will benefit the whole family.
Start broiling, steaming, and baking meats and meat products. This doesn’t
mean that you can never fry foods, it just means that it would be healthier
to alternate cooking methods in order to reduce fat intake.
Today, parents do not have to worry about cooking separate meals, one for
themselves and one for their child. Meal planning is an extremely important
part of every diabetic child’s lifestyle. The process of learning how to
cook foods that are healthy and nutritious will take some time. The “good
news” there is a wealth of information online, in books, and in magazines
regarding cooking ideas for children with diabetes.
The American Diabetes Association online provides recipes daily, a virtual
grocery store, and a free Diabetes Forecast magazine. Additionally they
provide information for Holiday Meal Planning, Exchange Lists, and their
Diabetic Food Pyramid.
Websites like children with Diabetes provide fun recipes and cooking ideas.
Along with diabetes events, support groups, diabetes services and important
links to other websites. You can also find diabetes advocates and regional
service information.
Once you find meal planning ideas and recipes, include your child. Make
cooking fun by turning it into an activity. The more that your child is
involved in ideas for cooking the more they will become comfortable with the
disease as they grow into healthy adults. |
