This chapter only concentrates on diet for type 1 and type 2 diabetics. Refer to Gestational Diabetes Diet for information on diet modification in gestational (pregnancy) diabetes. Diabetes diet is equally important for both types of diabetes: type 1 and type 2.
Type 1 diabetes diet is more specific in timing of meals, because it closely interrelates with the timing of administering insulin injection to prevent hyperglycaemia or hypoglycaemia. The time when to inject insulin depends on the type of insulin and its acting time: short-acting, long-acting or biphasic.
Type 2 diabetes diet is one single measure how to control type-2 diabetes. Eating the right food, in the right amounts and at the right time prevents peaks in blood glucose levels and optimizes glucose control.
There is no one single special diet for people with diabetes.
It is generally advised to eat a healthy balanced diet low in fat, sugar and salt, and high in fibre, fruit and vegetables.
