WHAT IS A DIABETIC DIET?
In the “old days,” there was a standard diabetic diet. Now, doctors know that
each diabetic needs an individualized meal plan. If you prepare food for
diabetic clients, be sure you know how to follow each client’s personalized
eating plan.
No matter what your client’s diet plan looks like, it’s important to
understand that every food causes blood sugar to go up—not just sugar.
So, if people with diabetes eat zero sugar, but continue to eat a lot of fats
and high calorie foods, their blood sugar will still be out of control.
Some people with diabetes can avoid having to take medications or insulin
by following a healthy diabetic diet.
