If you are diabetic then you probably feel that you have been shunted into a little box and are now branded diabetic and because of that have to eat bland boring food.

The truth probably is though that this is far from the case, however the downside to that is that whilst major food manufacturers will promote delicious and healthy diabetic food that is suger free is it really any good for you?

In fact come to think of it, since when did food manufacturers ever really have our best interest at heart, because at he end of the day they want us to keep eating their processed product so can their suger free options really be that good for us?

Well, probably not, although there will always be the exception to the rule, buit on the whole probably not.

The reason I say this is because to make processed food have a decent shelf life , and be tasty – it generally needs things like sugar, sodium, flavouring enhancers etc..

So if you start taking these out then the flavour does not taste so good and something else has to nbe done to compensate it, so in the case of diabetic food – if it is going to be made sugar free then it is probably going to get some kind of artificial sweetner in it, and if you do some research on some of those then you may feel more inclined ot go back to normal sugary foods anyway.

But my big point here, in a roundabout kind of way is that if you want to follow some kind of diabetic diet plan, then really your best bet is to banish all processed food from your cupboards and use fresh produce to make your own meals.

And I promise you it is not as hard as you think, but as with any change in diet make sure you also get the correct medical advice from your physician before you start to make changes
