Following a diabetes meal plan can seem challenging when you're faced with hundreds of shelves worth of choices combined with all those confusing food labels. Although it would certainly make life easier if you could just follow a grocery list for your diabetes diet, it doesn't necessarily work that way.
Everyone's diabetes and individual nutritional needs are different. But the heart of every diabetes eating plan is pretty much the same as any healthful diet — a nutrient-rich blend of foods that are low in fat and calories and based on moderate serving sizes. So, with a little know-how and practice, you can turn food shopping into a regular to-do — not a complicated excursion.

Add your commentWhat do you know about stevia with maltodextrin in it?
Its called stevia or truvia. Same thing, and you can get it in most health food stores, or then the health food section of most grocery stores. Hope this helps.
I just found out that Splenda is toxic. There is an alternative but I don't remember it's name and don't knoe where to get it. Please help
Joanne, AMEN I have type 2
, no drugs. Under control with diet. Thank You.
The article is misleading and dangerous. It suggests that any carbs are okay carbs, it doesn't mention eliminating artificial ingredients from your diet, avoiding processed foods and avoiding fruits and sweets. This article still promotes mega-agra-business by doing this. It promotes the use of unnecessary drugs when a good physician should be able to eliminate type 2
diabetes in adults.
Diabetes drugs are dangerous and associated with heart illnesses. Insulin is even more dangerous, except for those with type 1 diabetes who need it to survive.
My suggestion is to find a good doctor and get off the diabetes drugs, manage your diet with low to no carbs and stop eating processed foods and off the shelf foods with chemicals instead of food in them.
The "low fats" thing is a bust. If you're testing GI and taking your blood pressure regularly you will see that. Nothing promotes better blood fat levels than Adkins/Mercola.
If you're overweight, you'll probably also have to exercise an hour per day and esp. for 10 min after eating.
Exercise, adding high quality proteins to your diet, pomegranite, stevia, blueberry (watch the carbs) can also lower blood sugar and blood pressure when eaten with protein.
Also, the numerous page sin the article is annoying. It should be put on one page with a button "press here if you want to watch a lot of annoying pages full of ads load slowly."
