Nutrition and Diabetes Facts
There is no longer a "diabetes diet". No one plan is right for everyone.
People with diabetes have the same nutritional needs as anyone else.
People with diabetes may usually continue to enjoy eating foods they like.
Modifications to your food choices and amount of food may be needed based on your blood sugar goals, weight goals, and activity level.
By eating well-balanced meals, in the correct amounts, you can keep your blood glucose level as close to normal (non-diabetes level) as possible.
Initial changes that will help decrease blood sugars are drinking more water, decreasing or eliminating regular sodas, and eating smaller amounts of food at a time.
A registered dietitian (RD) can help you develop the best plan for your lifestyle and your diabetes.
