Overview

Planning meals carefully can help people manage their diabetes and reach or maintain a moderate weight. Combining a healthful diet with daily physical activity provides many health benefits, including keeping diabetes symptoms under control. Eating a whole foods diet, avoiding processed foods, and being aware of portion size are all key. Learning about food groups and using carbohydrate counting, GI, and plate methods can make it easier for people to balance their blood sugar. People with type 1 diabetes need to balance what they eat and drink with their insulin medication to keep their blood glucose in range. Managing blood glucose levels helps prevent further health complications. Planning a diet and knowing what foods to eat and avoid are, therefore, key to staying healthy. In this book, we discuss what a type 1 diabetes diet involves, foods to avoid, and how to create a plan. We also talk about healthful snack options, recipes, and how to prepare meals for children with diabetes. Hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar, can occur if someone does not balance their food and insulin intake. Therefore, people with diabetes need to eat regular meals and snacks. Daily physical activity should also be part of their lifestyle. Eating a healthful diet can help people with type 1 diabetes maintain a moderate weight and keep their cholesterol and blood pressure within target ranges. People may find that they can still enjoy some of their favorite foods, but in smaller portions or less often.
