Eating Well for Diabetes
Introduction
A meal plan for persons with diabetes must be balanced with insulin and oral medications, as well as exercise levels, so that blood glucose, blood pressure, cholesterol, and weight can be managed. The meal plan can help an individual determine what types of food to select and how much should be consumed during snack and meal times. By following such a plan, overall health will improve and other health conditions such as heart disease, some forms of cancers, and hypertension can be prevented.
