With diabetes, your body cannot make or properly use insulin, leading to high blood glucose, or sugar, levels in your blood. Healthy eating helps to reduce your blood sugar. It is a critical part of managing your diabetes, because controlling your blood sugar can prevent the complications of diabetes.

A healthy diabetic eating plan consists of:

Limiting sweets
Eating often
Being careful about when and how many carbohydrates you eat
Eating lots of whole-grain foods, fruits and vegetables
Eating less fat
Limiting your use of alcohol (source: US National Library of Medicine)

The diabetes diet is actually the best eating plan for everyone. It is rich in nutrients, low in fat and calories, emphasizes nutritious fruits, vegetables and whole grains in moderate amounts with regular mealtimes.
