Diabetic
Diet One of the
most important factors when dealing with diabetes management is controlling your
diet. We're
all advised to eat a healthy, balanced diet which is low in fat and sugar and
high in fibre, with plenty of fruit and vegetables. The same basic guidelines
are also recommended for people with diabetes. This
means that you can still eat your usual meals but you may need to alter them slightly
to make them more healthy. The rest of your family can join you in your new eating
plan and this well help their health too. You can buy all the foods that you need
from normal shops and supermarkets - you don't need to buy special "diabetic
foods". If
you are overweight, losing weight will help you control your diabetes. You should
aim to lose weight slowly over time rather than by drastic dieting. Even if you
don't manage to get to your ideal weight, losing a few pounds (and keep them off)
will help. Next >> How
