healthy live: Diseases and Conditions: Benefits Of A Diabetes Meal ...

Diet has a great influence on your odds of developing diabetes. Further proof is reflected by the fact that people over the world in countries with relatively low rates of diabetes who migrate here and adopt our eating habits suddenly find that they begin to develop diabetes at approximately the same rate as we do. It is imperative that they adopt a sensible diabetes meal plan in order to prevent their disease from getting worse. A good diabetes meal plan focuses primarily on number of calories in the meal and the percentage of carbohydrates and attempts to keep both of these numbers on the low side. Many diabetes food plans use an exchange plan to make it easier for the person to follow the diet. In a food plan, foods that are similar are grouped together. And, within a particular food group, they are allowed to exchange a portion of any one food for any other food. In such a diabetes meal plan, there are 7 groups. An exchange plan gives you a lot of flexibility in planning your diet. In fact, a good diabetes meal plan is even good for those that don't have the disease.
