Food And Diabetes

People with diabetes should:

• See a dietitian to have a meal plan that meets their individual needs
• Follow a regular meal pattern e.g. 3 meals a day (people on insulin may require snacks)
• Choose from a wide variety of foods to ensure you are getting all the nutrients they need for good health
• Choose foods that are high in fibre, such as whole grain breads, cereals, fruits and vegetables
• Choose foods that are low in fats and sugar
• When drinking alcohol, use only in moderation and always have with food
