Warning: Your blood sugar can rising gas prices increased

server temporarily unavailable server temporarily unavailable 
Rising blood sugar levels are not usually associated with rising gas prices or a recession but if you take a look at the effect that the inflation of gas prices is having on our food prices, I think you’ll agree that there is a direct connection between rising gas prices raising your blood sugar.
If you know anything at all about Diabetes care you know the importance of eating a healthy diabetic friendly diet.

In the same token, if you know about eating healthy diabetic friendly foods you must be buying healthy diabetic friendly foods at the grocery store.
If you are buying healthy diabetic friendly foods at the grocery store…you’re broke.
What is someone with diabetes supposed to do when they go to the grocery store on a very strict budget? Well, what they might do is start to buy sustenance that is less that diabetic friendly because that’s all they can afford. Not good.
I’m going to give you a few grocery shopping tips that will keep the rising gas prices from raising your blood sugar.
There is no way around the fact that the price of wheat and grains has tripled in the past 10 months. You could say, “ok, I’ll just cut down on the amount of products I buy that contain wheat and grains”. Really? Do you realize just how many products contain these things?
It is being estimated that because just about all of our meat/dairy sources are fed wheat and grains as their primary food source we can expect there to be a huge spike in the cost of 80% of our groceries.
So the end result of our rise in gas prices is that all of the healthy foods that diabetics need in order to maintain control of their blood sugar levels will significantly increase in price.
So keeping that in mind, I’m going to list a few tips and tricks which give some hints on how to save money at the food store on healthy foods:

There is no nutritional difference between brown and white eggs…but white are cheaperInstead of buying individual serving sizes of yogurt which can be quite expensive, buy a large container and separate into one cup servings yourself. Instead of buying canned beans, try buying dry beans as they triple in volume when you cook them. A 1lb bag will yield 6 1cup servings when cooked.Stay away from individually priced snacks, a larger container and the do it yourself method will cut down on the cost in the endTry to buy boneless cuts of meat since you are paying a price per pound…bones add weight without being edible.If fresh fruit is too expensive buy frozen or canned fruit in water. If you can only get fruit packed in syrup all you have to do is rinse it before eating
These are just a few of the many, many ways for you to save money on your next grocery shopping trip. For more ideas like this you can check out a great article on the American Diabetes Association site giving even more money saving ideas.
With the nicer weather coming I recommend buying all of your vegetables from local farms. Not only is the price cheaper but you are also supporting a local farmer and you are also being “green” as you are buying a product that did not need to be shipped by any polluting means such as a diesel truck.
