1 Nutrition Guidelines for Diabetes Eating healthy foods and keeping a healthy body weight are very important parts of a diabetes treatment plan. A healthy diet and weight helps to keep your blood sugar under control. Keeping your blood sugar under control helps protect against long term problems of diabetes. In order to control your blood sugar, it is very important to limit the carbohydrates in your diet. Sources of carbohydrates are starches, milk, fruits and sweets. You do not need to purchase foods labeled dietetic. Foods that are good for you are good for the rest of your household. These guidelines will help you change the way you eat and help keep your blood sugar under control. Eat three balanced meals a day at regular times. Do not skip meals. Choose meals and snacks with both carbohydrate and protein sources. Protein helps keep you feeling full and is an important nutrient for your body. You may need to eat a bedtime snack if you take insulin. Check with your doctor to see if you should. Eat a balanced amount of carbohydrates. Each meal should have about the same amount of carbohydrate. Include generous amounts of non-starchy vegetables in your meals and snacks. This will help fill you up, provides good nutrition and helps control your blood sugar. Avoid foods high in sugar such as candy, jelly, syrups, regular soda pop and other sugar sweetened drinks. Remember, your body does not know the difference between table sugar and fruit sugar (fructose) so drink fruit juices in moderation. Sweets, such as cookies, cakes, ice cream, pie and other rich desserts should only be eaten on special occasions. Sources of sugar include table sugar, brown sugar, honey and fructose. Limit the total fat in your diet. This will help control your weight, cholesterol levels and risk for heart disease. Avoid fried foods, high fat meats, whole milk dairy products, fried Learn more about your health care.

2 Page 2 snack foods, fast foods and high fat desserts. Limit foods containing added fats, especially those that have saturated fats, such as butter, cream cheese, sour cream, gravies and creamy salad dressings. Use oils, trans fat free margarine and oil-based salad dressings in moderation. Know how much food you are eating. It is important to know the amount of food you are eating. It is a good idea to use measuring cups and a food scale to accurately measure how much food you are eating. Most people underestimate the amount of food they eat and this can lead to high blood sugar levels. Also, get into the habit of reading food labels. These provide portion sizes and nutrient information. Select a variety of foods from these groups Meat and Meat Substitutes: Include one 2 to 3 ounce (oz) serving at lunch and dinner. A 1 ounce protein source, such as an egg or 1 ounce of meat or cheese, also may be included at breakfast and bedtime snack.

One serving equals 1/3 cup unless otherwise stated, 1 ounce or one slice of bread, or ¾ cup of dry cereal.
