potato

I dont think potato is dangerous for diabetics as it produces starch. Easy to burn and be converted to energy. I love potatoes. I like it better than rice sometimes. I like it baked or boiled then drizzled with pesto sauce or just sprinkled with salt and pepper.

The potato is a good source of dietary energy and some micro nutrients. Well, cooked potato is good for diabetic person. I like potato too..

My dad is diabetic, and it is one of the foods he was told to limit eating. I think like any food it has good benefits, and bad benefits.

Potatoes get a really bad rap, but the truth is they are actually really healthy. They have a lot of good vitamins in them. Yes they can increase blood sugar in diabetes, however, diabetics can eat them with out a problem if they eat them correctly, the key is it keep the serving size small, and to pair them with protein. If you have potatoes as a diabetic keep the serving size to 1/4 of a cup, and make sure to eat some kind of meat, cheese, or egss with them.

Hi Kalaga, I eat a lot of potatoes. They do not have the same impact on my sugar level as onions, rice or pasta. I always eat them with the skins on and this is supposed to help control the sugar level. I would suggest that a diabetic be careful though since we are all different. I recorded all my meals and sugar level over several weeks to see what items were raising it.. I would recommend all diabetics do the same. There might be some surprises.

Yes its true potatoes are not healthy for you especially if you are a diabetic. Just like pasta, rice and bread. All will make your sugar rise. Also they say even if you are not a diabetic that white color foods are not good for you. Makes you gain weight.

My husband likes potatoes a lot. It is one of the very few vegetables he eat. So, when we were staying together I ended up cooking varities of potato dishes especially different types of potato fries with different masalas. I am fine with potatoes but not very fond of it. Yes, I know that it is more of carbohydrates and increases blood sugaer, but I don't know what to do for that. Let me know if anybody here knows it.
