When
buying the food that are needed for a diabetic diet, it is
important to read the labels, it is especially important since
most food labels show daily values based on a 2,000 calorie
diet.
The timing of meals is also important on a
diabetic diet. No meal should be skipped, the reason for this
is simple, especially for those individuals who are insulin
dependent. For a lot of diabetes patient the administration
of insulin is calculated to correlate closely with the timing
of meals.
Eating between meals is also discouraged for
diabetic patients. This is because if too much food is eaten
at the wrong times, it can lead to weight gain and mess with
the work that the insulin injections are doing to control
the disease.
The goal for everyone, especially those with
diabetes, is to set a goal of five servings of fruit and vegetables,
six daily servings of whole grain foods and two servings a
week of fatty fish.
