When you are first told that you have diabetes, it is likely that you will become worried, overwhelmed and even scared. These are normal reactions that can be treated with proper care. One of the first things that your doctor will tell you to improve is your diet.

Diet is a word that many people simply hate. Diet is a word that often brings out the feelings of hate, loathe and boring foods. Thats not necessarily important here. Instead, it becomes important for you to make small changes that will have a great impact on your diabetic conditions such as high blood sugars.

An ounce of prevention is always better than cure, particularly if diabetes runs in your family.

Aside from heredity, the top cause of diabetes is improper diet. Modern man's propensity for leading hectic lives has led them into eating the wrong kinds of food. Man has become so obsessed with wealth creation and pleasure, that he has no more time to prepare a well-balanced meal. Thus, the modern man's diet consists of canned goods, processed fish, meat and vegetables that can be eaten immediately by just popping it inside a microwave. The modern world has convinced man to have a preference for refined food, from sugar to grains.

But there are health-friendly foods that are available in the market, one only has to learn how to recognize and eat them. It's just a matter of changing our choice of food, like preferring whole grains over refined grains such as brown rice, whole wheat bread and the likes.

In any food that you eat, whole grains are a better choice than processed foods. Whole grains are full of fiber and nutrients and dont pack on the pounds like white carbohydrates do. Here are your goals for whole grain foods.

• Instead of white rice, white pasta or white breads, eat whole grain rice, pasta and breads instead.
• Eat a serving of whole grain cereal or breads in the morning with your breakfast.
• Try replacing whole grain flour with white flour in your recipes.
• Purchase 100 percent whole grain foods, not "whole wheat" or other limited grained products.

Chances are good that you wont notice any differences in these foods in the way that they taste but your blood sugar will!
