(Food-Beverage-News.Com, September 14, 2014 ) Oakland, CA -- Diabetes is one disease that takes a lot of discipline and control to successfully manage. For diabetics who love to eat, it is definitely difficult to conquer the urge to have a serving or two of their favorite dish without constantly worrying over how this will affect their controlled diet. Finesseur, makers of contemporary kitchenware, says the strict diabetes diet can be followed more effectively with the use of a practical measuring tool like a food scale.
"Every diabetic knows the importance of proper portion control in managing the disease. With portion control, diabetics are able to balance their blood sugar and manage their weight. Yet time and again, measuring food when you have this disease is a constant battle. When they don't consistently follow their strict diet, their blood sugar levels can go out of control," says Finesseur spokesperson Allison Montgomery.
Diabetics need to limit their intake of fats, calories, and especially carbohydrates. Portion control allows diabetics, particularly those on insulin, to match their insulin intake to the total grams of carbohydrates they consume to ensure better glucose control while avoiding weight gain.
Measuring carbohydrate intake has been the standard practice in ensuring a healthy diabetes diet and allowing blood sugar medications to work properly. However, some diabetics have become accustomed to using just their eyes or hands in portioning their food. Montgomery says this manner does not ensure accuracy, which is highly required in a diabetes diet.
"Measuring food portion sizes cannot be accurately determined by just looking, guessing or estimating if one serving is enough. Using measuring tools is extremely important to determine exactly what you are getting," adds Montgomery.
As consistency and accuracy are the keys to ensuring a healthy diabetes diet, Montgomery says a food scale can help diabetics in accurately and consistently meeting the required food measurements in their daily diet. "A food scale, like the Finesseur Food Scale, provides a variety of measurement units to help diabetics accurately count carbohydrates. It can measure carbohydrate-based foods such as fruits, pasta, cereal and breads in grams so you would know how much carbs you are consuming every meal. Using this tools allows you to get the exact amounts of carbs that are just required by your diet."
Montgomery shares how some online customers have been using their food scale in diabetes management. One Amazon customer, Nancy A., relates how the Finesseur Food Scale had helped her accurately measure her foods.
Montgomery shares such review is a testament to how versatile the food scale is, particularly in helping diabetics manage their disease more effectively. "With a food scale, diabetics can keep the complications of diabetes in check by accurately measuring their food intake.
