Just because you or someone you know lives with diabetes, doesn’t mean you have to settle for bland-tasting meals, purchase expensive diabetic foods, or feel like you can’t eat the same foods that everyone else enjoys. Creating delicious, diabetic-friendly meals starts with using every-day ingredients and foods that you enjoy, while following a few simple guidelines:

• Look for Fiber in Foods – Counting carbs and balancing carbo-hydrate intake is a key factor in helping to keep blood sugar levels in check. Spikes in blood glucose levels (also known as blood sugar) come faster with simple carbs like white bread and potatoes. Fiber, a slower releasing carb such as those found in foods containing fiber (bran cereals, oatmeal, whole-wheat bread, beans, fruits and vegetables), take longer for the body to absorb, and 9 out of 10 Americans are not getting enough fiber.¹ Check the label for fiber, and when reviewing a recipe, look for ways to increase it. Also, you’ll be pleased to know that many varieties of Murray® Sugar Free cookies contain fiber.
• Spice It Up – Many recipes call for sugar, salt or fat to make them flavorful. Change it up by experimenting with spices like cinnamon, cumin and nutmeg or flavored vinegars, mustards and herbs. Keep in mind that experimenting to improve the nutrition profile of the product may result in a different end product.
• Something Sweet – Don’t feel like you can’t enjoy something sweet at the end of your meal. Consider a reduced sugar or sugar-free dessert alternative, like Murray® Sugar Free cookies. Remember to watch portion sizes when eating sweet snacks.

Diabetes now affects nearly 24 million people in the United States, an increase of more than 3 million in approximately two years, according to new 2007 prevalence data estimates released by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC). This means that nearly 8 percent of the U.S. population has diabetes.² Learn more about diabetes and what you can do to help.
