Food Choices for People with Diabetes

Introduction

Healthy eating, along with regular physical activity, can help you to manage your blood glucose levels, reduce your blood fats (cholesterol and triglycerides) and maintain a healthy weight. Refer to the Physical Activity and Type 2 Diabetes information sheet for more about how to be active every day.

Healthy eating for people with diabetes is no different to that which is recommended for everyone. There is no need to prepare separate meals or buy special foods, so relax and enjoy healthy eating along with the whole family!
