Eating a healthy diet is the cornerstone of managing all forms of diabetes, and in some cases, it can prevent or even reverse the onset of type 2 diabetes. The trick for diabetics, those with low insulin levels, or those with insulin resistance is to keep blood-sugar levels from spiking by choosing the right balance of foods. Carbohydrates should only make up 40 percent of your diet, so stick to whole grains, fruits, and non starchy veggies. The following recipes help get your menu on the right track.
TOMATO TORTELLINI SOUP
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
½ onion, coarsely chopped
½ teaspoon onion powder
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon dried basil
½ teaspoon hot pepper flakes
½ teaspoon ground allspice
1 cup low-sodium vegetable broth
1 28-ounce can crushed tomatoes
1 cup cheese tortellini, cooked
In a large saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add onion, onion powder, garlic powder, basil, hot pepper flakes, allspice, broth, and tomatoes. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to a simmer. Cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, for about 30 minutes or until onions are translucent and ingredients are well blended. Working in batches, transfer soup to blender and purée until your desired consistency is reached. Return soup to the saucepan and add cooked tortellini. Stir to combine and heat through. Serve warm.
