Win a diabetes cooking event for two

There are more than six million diabetics in Germany, and the trend is rising. In addition to a genetic predisposition, an unhealthy lifestyle that promotes obesity is also to blame. At some point, the pancreas goes on strike, resulting in a diagnosis of "type 2 diabetes". But no need to despair!

"You don't have to go without: People with diabetes can eat practically anything if they follow a few simple rules," says Dr. Hari Sven Krishnan.

Restrict: convenience foods

Firstly, the motto "once insulin, always insulin" no longer necessarily applies, as you can successfully combat this with exercise, medication and, above all, a change in diet. Secondly, you don't need to starve. "It is still possible to enjoy a healthy diet," explains diabetes expert Dr. Hari Sven Krishnan. "It's a small challenge, but one that benefits the whole body."

Add fiber-rich oats to your diet

Of course there are a number of foods that you should avoid from now on, e.g. fast food and ready meals. It is best to cook yourself. Mediterranean cuisine with rapeseed and linseed oil, sea fish, low-sugar fruit and vegetables is super healthy. Insulin sensitivity can be improved by the relatively high proportion of omega-3 fatty acids. Also focus on dietary fiber: it prevents blood sugar levels from spiking after eating.

Oatmeal is very effective in reducing the need for insulin. The porridge can be spiced up with berries, apples, cinnamon and vanilla pulp. It also warms the soul - it's not for nothing that porridge is the English people's favorite breakfast. Oat and quark pancakes are really delicious - the recipe is below. In the next six issues of FUNK UHR you will find more delicious recipes especially for diabetics. Gentle help also comes from nature: a clinical study has shown that extracts from the Indian jambul tree help to lower blood sugar levels (e.g. in Glycowohl, pharmacy).
