When people think of diabetes, one of the first associations that comes to mind is food, and especially the old prohibition against eating sweets. In fact, today's dietary guidelines are not as stringent, but are slightly more complex.
Eat a variety of healthy, nutritious foods
reduce fat and protein to reasonable amounts
balance carbohydrate with insulin and exercise.

I use an inexpensive program - "Diet and Exercise Assistant" and it is great. Helps me stay on pace with my diet

Counting carbs keeps me from over-indulging and is my number one proven method to keep the daily glucose reading in range

It is a pain to do this, even though the program above is excellent, it is just a task that I wish I did not have to do.
