Diabetes Diet
The goal of a diabetic diet chart is to avoid any surges in the blood glucose levels at any time of the day. This can be easily accomplished by following a "three meals and three small snacks" pattern. Following a diabetic diet chart along with portion control, avoiding foods that cause the sugar levels to soar (e.g. sugars, sweets) and choosing foods high in fibre are also the key to maintaining a near normal level of blood sugar throughout the day. The diet for diabetics should also be rich in fibre which helps by slowing down or reducing the absorption/ release of glucose into the blood stream. Diabetics are also more prone to developing heart diseases, so a diet low in total fat will help to prevent heart diseases in the near future.
Exercise also improves the body's ability to use the insulin and incorporating a suitable exercise regimen* on a daily basis can help in controlling the blood sugar. (*before starting on an exercise routine, always seek approval from your physician).Diabetes Diet Schedule
