What you eat
has a direct relation to your blood sugar number. Food intake affects the
body's need for insulin and insulin's ability to lower blood sugar, diet
is the cornerstone of diabetes treatment. Today, diabetes experts no
longer recommend a single meal plan for all people with diabetes. Instead,
they recommend meal plans that are flexible and take into account a
person's lifestyle and particular health needs. The American Diabetes
Association recommends that people with diabetes consult a registered
dietician to design a meal plan.
The food pyramid is a good general reference. The problem that we (Diabetics) have with following this food pyramid is that it recommends healthy doses of carbohydrates. Diabetics have to take better care of themselves. D - Diabetic Software keeps track of what you've eaten, and shows you it's relation to your blood glucose number. |
