Saying all of this about lifestyle changes not being a sole treatment doesn’t mean they can’t be helping. In fact, if a type one diabetic were to take the time and effort required to regulate their dietary intake for their disease then they’d find that their blood-sugar levels were kept under far better control and their chance of unhealthy repercussions much less likely.
Put in
Make sure to eat a variety of foods every day, try and keep them high in fibre, vitamins and minerals and remove saturated fat and sodium from your diet as much as you can. It’s the sugars which will really get you so try and keep your diet as natural as you can, removing any processed foods that you can cooking it yourself when you have the energy to. Fruit may be good in small quantities as it’s full of fibre and low in fat but be careful not to eat too much as it’s also got a very high natural sugar content.
Take Out
Remove sweets. Things like sugary soft drinks, sweets, pastries, pies and fatty foods are better to avoid entirely. It’s not worth the risk frankly, you can naught once in a while but don’t let any of these things become stables of your diet or you could end up with some serious issues before you know what’s hit you.
