Do It Your Way Plans
Healthy balanced diet that improves your blood sugars
How will the Diabetes diet work for you?
Proper diet is an integral part of managing diabetes. To help keep blood glucose under control, unrefined carbohydrates, including wholegrain breads, cereals, beans, peas, vegetables and whole fruits are incorporated.
These low sugar sources of carbohydrate will help ensure you get plenty of fibre in all of your meals. Not only will you shed those unwanted pounds, you'll also improve your blood sugars and decrease your risk of many diseases associated with diabetes.
Why the Diabetes diet?
- Plenty of high fibre, lower sugar foods
- Maintain energy
- Control cravings for sweet foods
- Keep your blood sugar levels under control
