The Restrictions of a Diabetic Diet?
Some readers may find it interesting to note that a diet designed for those who are diabetic may not be significantly more restrictive than diet plans simply designed to provide a healthy lifestyle.
WebMD suggests, “A diet for diabetes is really a healthy diet, controlled in calories, fat, sugar, carbohydrates, and salt. The foods that are good for controlling your blood sugar are good for everyone. Several components of your diet -- including the amounts of carbohydrate, fat, and protein that you eat -- affect your blood sugar levels. So to keep your blood sugar levels normal, you need to make healthy food choices, eat regularly without skipping meals, exercise regularly, and take the medicines your doctor prescribes.”
