What should I eat to control my diabetes?

 The best way to control diabetes is being smart and selecting foods that will keep not only the sugar down, but will also help to control weight gain and decrease cholesterol. This can be approached by changing to a diet with fewer calories and less fat-; this can be accomplished by eating more fresh fruit, vegetables, seafood and legumes instead of daily steak and hamburgers.

One should try to eat a healthy diet that derives at least 20-20% daily calories from protein, 30% of less from fat and the rest from carbohydrates. One should become a label-based shopper and check which foods are sugar and fat free. Some labels even mention which foods are good for the diabetic.
