3 Gogoldhig Preface Qoraalkan waxa loogu talogalay inay isticmaalaan dadka caafimaadka ka shaqeeya marka ay kala xaajoonayaan bukaanada kaarboohaydareytka iyo sonkarta dhiiga. Waxay dhaqan ahaan ku habboon tahay inay muujiso cuntooyinka sida badan ay isticmaalaan bulshada Soomaaliyeed ee Maraykanka degan. This presentation is intended to be used by clinicians when discussing carbohydrates and blood glucose with patients. It is culturally tailored to reflect foods commonly consumed by Somali Americans. Background: Harborview Medical Center (HMC) physician Dr. Carey Jackson identified a need for culturally-tailored visual references tools to use during conversations with diabetic patients about food choices. Methods: Dr. Jocelyn James and Yetta Levine at Harborview Medical Center in Seattle, WA, created this tool in consultation with Harborview registered dietitians Karen Conger and Lisa Messerli. Cultural guidance was provided by Somali caseworker / cultural mediator Anab Abdullahi and Somali interpreters Ashwaq Mohamed and Mohamed Hashi. Funding for this education was provided by the Pacific Hospital Preservation and Development Authority (PHPDA). 3

4 Horudhac Introduction Cuntooyinku waxay ka kooban yihiin kaarbohaydareyt, borotiin, iyo baruur. Foods are made up of carbohydrates, proteins, and fats.

These foods contain carbohydrates: Istaarjis oo ay ka mid yihiin: digirta, baastada, rootiga, laxooxda/anjerada, bariiska, iyo khudaarta qaarkood Starches. For example: beans, pasta, bread, anjera, rice, some vegetables. Midhaha Fruit Waxyaabaha caanaha ka soo baxa ama dairy products Dairy Products Macmacaanka Sweets 8

9 Kaarbohaydareytka Carbohydrates Borotiinka, baruurta, iyo khudaarta qaarkood kor uma qaadaan sonkorta dhiiga. Proteins, fats, and some vegetables will not raise blood sugar. 9

10 ISTAARJIS Starches 10

11 Istaarjis Starches Istaarjisku kor ayey u qaadaan sonkorta dhiiga. Tusaalayaal istaarjiska waxa ka mid ah bariiska, badarka, digirta, rootiga, shuurada, laxooxda/angerada, siiriyaalka (mushaaro), baastada, iyo khudaarta qaarkood. Starches raise blood sugar. Examples of starches include rice, grains, beans, bread, cornmeal, anjera, cereal, pasta, and some vegetables. 11

12 Istaarjis Starches Bariiska bunniga ihi wuu ka caafimaad badan yahay bariiska cad. Wuxuu leeyahay faybar (fiber) iyo nafaqo. Faybarku wuxuu caawiyaa si mindhicirku caafimaad u ahaado.

Qaar badan oo ka mid ah cuntooyinka la cuno wakhtigan sonkorta dhiiga ayey sare u qaadaan. Ramadan is a very important month for Muslims. For people with diabetes, it can be difficult to control blood sugar during Ramadan. Many of the foods eaten during this time raise blood sugar. 82

83 Ramadaan Ramadan Xaddiga iyo xooga daawooyin badan oo ay qaataan dadka qaba sonkorowgu waxa loogu qoray xaddiyada cunto ee caadiga ah iyo wakhtiyada cunto cunista ee caadiga ah. Haddii aad soomayso, waxa muhiim ah inaad qorshe la samaysato bixiyahaaga daryeelka caafimaadka ka hor Ramadaan intayna bilaabmin, si aanay sonkorta dhiigaagu aad hoos ugu dhicin amba aad sare ugu kicin. The amount (dose) of many medications people take for diabetes is prescribed for usual food amounts and usual meal times. If you are observing the fast, it is important to make a plan with your health care provider before Ramadan starts, so that your blood sugar does not go too low or too high. 83

84 Ramadaan Ramadan Sida wakhtiyada kale ee sannadka oo dhan, hubso inaad ku darto borotiin cuntadaada wakhtiga Ramadaanta. Tani waxay caawinaysaa xakamaynta sonkorta dhiiga. Waxay kalooy kaa caawinaysaa in wakhti yara dheer aad iska dharagsanaato. Si aad hoos ugu dhigto harraadka, waxaa ku caawin kara inaad dhinto cunista cuntooyinka shiilan iyo cusbada. Like all other times of the year, be sure to include protein with your meals during Ramadan. This will help keep blood sugar under control. It may also help you feel full longer. To decrease thirst, it will be helpful to cut down on fried foods and salt. 84

85 Ramadaan Ramadan Dhammaan cuntooyinkani kor ayey u qaadaan sonkorta dhiiga. All these foods raise blood sugar. 85

86 Ramadaan Ramadan Halkan waxa ah tusaalayaal cuntooyin caafimaad leh oo la cuno ka hor qorrax soo baxa. Cuntooyinkani waa qaar caafimaad leh sababtoo ah waxa ku jira borotiin, kaarbohaydareyt aad u badana kuma jiro. Here are some examples of healthy meals to have before sunrise. These meals are healthy because they have protein and they do not have too many carbohydrates. 86

87 Ramadaan Ramadan Marka aad afurayso, qaado 2 ama 3 xabbo oo timir ah oo isticmaal Splenda ama macaaneeye kale oo macmal ah kafeegaaga ama shaaha. When breaking the fast, take only 2 or 3 dates and use Splenda or another sugar substitute in your coffee or tea. 87

88 Ramadaan Ramadan Ka dib marka aad afurto, haddii aad rabto inaad wax kale cunto, isticmaal rubuc kaliya saxankaaga cuntooyinka sare u qaada sonkorta dhiiga. Ka buuxi inta saxanka ka dhiman khudaar iyo borotiin. After breaking the fast, if you are going to eat again, use only ¼ of your plate for foods that increase blood sugar. Fill the remainder of the plate with vegetables and protein. 88

89 Ramadaan Ramadan Xusuusnoow in cuntooyinkan oo dhani sare u qaadaan sonkorta dhiiga. Isku day inaanad ka cunin hal wax ka badan kuwaas markiiba. Remember that these foods all raise blood sugar. Try not to eat more than one of these at a time. 89

90 Ramadaan Ramadan Haddii aad wax cunto dhawr jeer habeenkii, hubso inaad kala fogayso wax cunista 2 ilaa 3 saacadood habeenkii oo dhan. If you eat several meals during the night, be sure to space meals out by 2 to 3 hours throughout the night. 90

91 Dib-u-eeg Review Aan dib-u-eegno. Si aad u caawiso xakamaynta sonkarta dhiigaaga, xaddid kaarbohaydareytka kuna dar borotiin iyo khudaar cuntadaada. Let s review. To help keep your blood sugar under control, limit carbohydrates and include protein and vegetables with your meals. Inaad bedasho raashinka nooca aad cunto maalin kastaa way kugu adkaaneysaa. Hase yeeshee, waxay caawin kartaa xakamaynta sonkorowga oo xiitaa waxay yarayn kartaa baahida daawooyinka.cunista cunto caafimaad lihi waxay u fiican tahay cid kasta oo qoyskaaga ah. Changing what you eat is difficult. However, it can help control diabetes and can even reduce the need for medications. A healthy diet will benefit everyone in your family. 91
