People with Diabetes Can Enjoy Their Favorite Foods
Many people think that having diabetes means you can't eat your favorite foods. Well, it's not true. You can still eat the foods you love. Food means family, friends, comfort, and pleasure, not just vitamins and minerals. That's why, for most people, food is the hardest part of caring for diabetes. Your dietitian will show you how to include your favorites and still keep your blood sugar on track.
Making changes in the way you eat or the times you eat can be tough. Remember that it's up to you to work with your health care team and tell them what will work for you. Decide what changes you'd like to try and work on one at a time. Whether you'd rather eat noodles or tacos, using a meal plan is a great way to keep blood sugar on target.
Talk to your dietitian about your schedule, how active you are, and where you go when you eat out. The two of you will design a plan that will fit the way you live and the foods you and your family like, and help you feel good and stay healthy.
