It can also reduce the amount of medication or the number insulin injections needed to maintain proper blood sugar. MealMixer provides low glycemic dieting options (see glycemic index) so you can moderate and manage your insulin levels.

The main concern of the diabetic diet is finding the correct balance between the food eaten and the medicine taken. A good plan is to keep a food journal (which is what MealMixer does for you) coupled with a testing journal (provided by your physician). This way you will be armed with the information necessary to identify problem areas and continually improve your meal planning to attain the proper sugar balance.

There are different schools of thought for the diabetic diet, a Low Carbohydrate Diet Plan or a Low Fat Diet Plan. Your physician or dietitian should be the one to make this determination, as well as determine your specific diet regimen.

Carbohydrate counting (done by the planner) is essential for the diabetic diet. Although necessary for energy, carbs can quickly break down and dump sugar into the bloodstream which is difficult for diabetics to process since they are insulin deprived. It's very important to carefully balance insulin, carb intake and exercise to maintain optimal levels of glucose in the blood. Varying your nutritional intake too widely from meal to meal causes fluctuations in blood sugar, making it difficult to accurately predict the amount of insulin you require.

Another concern is weight control; you should determine a good weight using our BMI Calculator and Diet Calculator. Being fit has a very positive impact on your body's ability to properly metabolize glucose. MealMixer allows you to factor exercise into your diet through the use of exercise tracking.

Eating balanced healthy meals with the proper number of portions and balance of proteins, fats and carbs will help you assimilate the sugar from your food more evenly. With your diet properly managed, your need for insulin or medication could be lessened, and in some cases eliminated.

The idea is that a high glycemic index food consumed in small quantities gives the same effect as larger quantities of a low glycemic index food on blood sugar. Glycemic Load is the product of the Glycemic Index and the grams of available carbohydrate (GL = GI × available Carb grams). For example, white rice has a high GI, so eating 100g of white rice at one sitting would give a similar glucose curve in the blood as eating 50g would butonly half the height. Since the peak height is the most important parameter for diabetes control, multiplying the amount of carbohydrates in a food serving by the glycemic index gives an idea of how much effect a food portion has on blood sugar level. ]]>Sun, 10 Jul 2011 19:55:28 GMTCE8736889E45C6FF5D55440287C85081<![CDATA[Glycemic Iindex]]>http://www.mealmixer.com/glycemic-index.ashxAdministrator (admin)carbohydrates enter your blood stream. Carbohydrates that quickly metabolize release glucose into your bloodstream quickly, and so have a high glycemic index, while carbohydrates that break down slowly have a low GI. A lower glycemic index indicates slower rates of digestion and absorption of carbohydrates and therefore sugar.

Dr. David J. Jenkins and colleagues at the University of Toronto invented the Glycemic Index in order to determine the foods that were most appropriate for diabetics. A lower glycemic response usually means a lower insulin demand and so can improve long-term blood sugar control.

To be scientific about this, GI is defined as the area under a two hour blood glucose response curve following the ingestion of 50 of carbohydate. Values range from 0 (not response) to 100 (that from ingesting pure sugar).

A related value is Glycemic Load. ]]>Sun, 10 Jul 2011 19:50:25 GMTB55BF0C81540F7F2919D2EC347E34878<![CDATA[Something is Wrong]]>http://www.mealmixer.com/Error.ashxMealMixerR (MealMixerR)

Everyday Cooks

Cookbooks are great, our staff members have hundreds of them! But they are one-dimensional and don't give you what you really need to put complete meals on the table. Finding a good recipe that matches your taste, remembering where it is, putting the ingredients on your shopping list, and matching side dishes...these are a few of the many reasons why most cookbook recipes never make it to the table.

It's not uncommon to pay $30 for a quality cookbook and use only a handful of recipes from it. MealMixer has a better plan!

MealMixer...
  • Finds recipes for you based on your unique taste and diet
  • Helps you create a menu based on your time and taste
  • Creates your shopping list so you can shop smarter and faster
  • Stores your own recipes in your own collection, and lets you use them just like ours. We even calculate their nutrition.

Gourmets

In addition to everything an everyday cook wants, gourmets typically have very specific ingredients and want to manage their own recipes. We let you enter your own ingredients, and edit recipes to your heart's content. When you plan your special meal using MealMixer, you are sure to have everything you need. Having the entire meal on a plan ensures that you don't forget to serve something that you made in advance and set aside. ]]>Mon, 09 May 2011 17:00:45 GMT506CBD38B23D8DAFEC82DE9E8C635104<![CDATA[Plan Your Exercise]]>http://www.mealmixer.com/plan-exercise.ashxAdministrator (admin)
