Some of the Best and the Worst Diabetic Packaged Foods

Susan Brown
It's tough when you've been diagnosed with diabetes. It's now that you realize the importance of changing your diet and cutting many of the things you once loved completely out. It also means replacing these things with other things that would be better for you! So just what are some of the best and some of the worst products available to you as a diabetic? Check out these:

Glucerna. This is a very well-known name in diabetic foods, and you either hate it or you love it. Some of the best products they have include snack bars like chocolate caramel and caramel nut - you may want to eat these even if you're not diabetic! But some of the more unappealing items are their shakes - some diabetics absolutely cannot stand their taste even though they are so good for you and even come in butter pecan flavor now!

DiabetiSweet. Is it good or bad? It's a sugar substitute for baking and cooking - and it has mixed reviews. Me personally, I can't stand the stuff. It makes cakes and cookies unappealing.

Fifty/50. Check them out at www.Fifty50foods.com and see where you can purchase their tasty foods in your area - everything from pastas, pasta sauces, to many other nice products created just for the diabetic.

The sweetener called Stevia. This is so much better than its competitor Splenda because it tastes so much more real. It is a plant of its own - so it's not some funky derivative of sugar or something! It's the real thing, in a natural genre all it's own.

DineWise.com. Their diabetic-friendly chef selections are rather tasty like the Grilled Pork Loin meal. It's low in fat and a perfect meal for diabetics for $16.79 a meal. Rather pricey, indeed, but it can be a nice way to treat yourself every now and then! DineWise.com has lots and lots of different meals and items to choose from and just about everything is tasty and appealing. The only items that may be a little bit unappealing are their health bars which tend to be a bit dry and boring.sweetened with Acesulfame-K, a high intensity non-nutritive sweetener; as well as Isomalt, a heat-stable bulking agent that adds volume to cakes, breads, and other recipes. If you ask me, it may be damaging your health in other ways because it is not a natural sweetener.
