NEW Diabetes friendly meals
Here at Zing Wellbeing we strive to offer support for all dietary requirements and health needs.
Our NEW Diabetes friendly meal plan is now LIVE.
Eating for diabetes involves managing blood sugar levels through balanced nutrition, portion control, and regular meal timing.
BRAND NEW Zing Wellbeing Diabetes meal planner is available now in the meal plan customiser to support your health and wellness requirements.
The Zing Wellbeing Diabetes meal planner is written with the following health in mind:
1. Low-Glycemic Index (GI) Foods
Low glycemic index (GI) foods are those that cause a slow and steady rise in blood sugar levels after eating. The glycemic index measures how quickly a carbohydrate-containing food raises blood sugar levels on a scale of 0 to 100.
- Low GI foods: GI ≤ 55
- Medium GI foods: GI 56–69
- High GI foods: GI ≥ 70
Eating low GI foods is beneficial for managing blood sugar levels, maintaining energy, and reducing the risk of diabetes-related complications.
By including low GI foods we can control the rise of our blood sugar levels creating a slower, steadier rise and also reduce the risk of a blood sugar drop.
We have include whole grains, quinoa, low starch vegetables, legumes and berries.
2. High Protein
A high-protein diet can benefit individuals with diabetes by improving blood sugar control, enhancing satiety, and supporting weight management. Protein slows digestion and has little to no direct effect on blood sugar levels, unlike carbohydrates. We have included quinoa, chicken, fish, eggs and tofu.
For individuals on medications like insulin, adding protein to meals can reduce the risk of low blood sugar (hypoglycaemia) by slowing glucose absorption
3. Healthy Fats
Including healthy fats in your diet is beneficial for managing diabetes as they help improve insulin sensitivity, promote heart health, and provide lasting energy. Unlike unhealthy fats, which can worsen inflammation and insulin resistance, healthy fats support overall metabolic health. We have included avocados, nuts, seeds, olive oil and fish.
4. No added sugar
We have hit that sweet spot with natural sweet foods like whole fruit (with the skin on) and natural sweeteners. One of the most significant advantages of cutting sugar is its impact on metabolic health.
Excessive sugar consumption, particularly fructose, has been linked to insulin resistance, a precursor to type 2 diabetes. By detoxing from sugar, insulin sensitivity can improve, helping the body manage blood sugar levels more effectively.
Reducing sugar also helps decrease fat storage, particularly visceral fat, which is associated with metabolic syndrome and heart disease.
Sugar is calorie-dense and provides little nutritional value, contributing to excess caloric intake and weight gain.
