Nutrition and Diabetes

People with diabetes should follow the nutrition guidelines in the food pyramid and should pay special attention to their carbohydrate intake and should also eat about the same amount of food at the same time each day to keep blood sugar levels stable.

For people who are taking certain diabetes medicines, it is suggested that they follow a schedule for meals, snacks, and physical activity and keep in mind that some diabetes medicines allow for more flexibility. Your family physician can help you to create a diabetes plan that’s best for you.
