HYPERTENSION AND DIABETES PATIENT diet - 1.Reduce intake of salt in your food 2. Reduce intake of excess sugar in your food 3. Fill half your plate with fruits and vegetables. A quarter gets lean protein like baked fish, beans, or chicken. The last quarter holds grains, preferably whole, like brown rice. You?ll still need to count carbohydrates and make sure you're not getting too much sodium. 4. Caffeine can raise your blood sugar and blood pressure. 5. Whole grains are rich in vitamins and minerals, plus contain fiber, which keeps you full and helps steady blood sugar. Aim for three to five servings of grains each day, and make at least half of those servings whole grains. 6. Beer, wine, and most cocktail mixers contain sugar and will cause your blood glucose to rise, as well as your blood pressure and triglycerides 7. Favor fats from plant foods.
