Are there certain foods I should eat more off since I am diabetic?


The best way to control diabetes is being smart and selecting foods which will keep not only keep 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 means  eating more fresh fruit, vegetables, sea food and legumes instead of daily steak and hamburgers.
One should try and eat a healthy diet which derives at least 20-20% daily calories from protein, 30% or less from fat and the rest from carbohydrates. One should become a label based shopper and check which foods contain sugar and fat free. Some labels even mention which foods are good for the diabetic.
