Your diabetes diet is simply a healthy-eating plan that will help you control your blood sugar. Here's help getting started, from meal planning to exchange lists and counting carbohydrates.
To get the best advice for your personal situation the best bet is to talk to your doctor or to take a diabetes management class. Most classes last from a couple of hours to one day and are covered by many insurance plans.
For general advice check out the American Diabetes Association website. They have two sets of diet information. One for someone who needs to lose weight while controlling their blood sugar and one for someone who is at an optimal weight and just needs help keeping their blood sugar under control.
