DIABETIC DIET

DIABETIC DIETBasically it is a balanced diet measured to provide a

number of exchanges or servings based on the individual’s caloric requirement. Not only the amount but kinds of foods and regularity of meals are considered. Concentrated sweets and simple carbohydrates are avoided. The diabetic diet is high in fiber and low in fat.

The diet most often recommended for people who suffer from diabetes mellitus is high in dietary fiber, especially soluble fiber, but low in fat (especially saturated fat). Patients may be encouraged to reduce their intake of carbohydrates that have a high glycemic index. However, in cases of hypoglycemia, they are advised to have food or drink that can raise blood glucose quickly, followed by a long-acting carbohydrate (such as rye bread) to prevent risk of further hypoglycemia.

Danish Meatballs Danish meatballs are the most common dish served in Denmark, the

Danish name for them is frikadeller. Ingredients for four hungry people, portion sizes can be scaled up or down. one lb (1/2 kg) of ground pork one lb (1/2 kg) of gound lamb or beef. five oz (100 grams) of plain bread crumbs one or two finely chopped onions one teaspoon salt one teaspoon black pepper one cup of water Combine all the ingredients in a bowl, mix it well. With a spoon, make

meatballs. Heat up a pan with your favorite grease (margerine, shortening and oil all

works). Turn the heat to medium, and place the meatballs in the pan. Turn them every five minutes or so. Test them with a fork to make sure they are well done inside, they are not supposed to be pink in the center.

A lot of grease will end up in the bottom of the pan. When the meatballs are done, place them on a paper towell to soak up the grease.

Can be served with boiled potatoes, baked potatoes, mashed potatoes or rice. Denmark is a potato country, traditionally frikadeller is only served with some sort of potato.

Leftover meatballs can be stored in a freezer, they taste just as good reheated. Enjoy!
