Diabetes Diet



If you have diabetes, your body has a problem with either how it makes insulin or how it uses insulin. This leads to high blood sugar, which, over time, can be very damaging to the body.

When you have diabetes, watching what you eat is extremely important to maintaining overall good health. But this doesn’t have to mean just getting by on some bland, boring diet.

Diabetes experts suggest meal plans that are flexible and take your lifestyle and other health needs into account. If you need assistance designing a meal plan, a registered dietitian can help you with this.

You can still enjoy many of your favorite foods and beverages. The key is moderation. And counting those calories, counting those carbs.

Of course, you’ll want to follow your doctor’s advice closely.
