Diabetes is a condition where there is too much sugar (glucose) in the blood. It occurs when the body stops producing insulin (type 1 diabetes) or when insulin production is insufficient or the insulin doesn't work properly (type 2 diabetes), so glucose builds up in the blood instead of getting into the cells.
When diabetes is well managed, you will feel better and reduce your risk of developing long-term complications of diabetes. Eating well is an important part of diabetes management. By finding out more about the foods you should be eating and learning how different foods affect your blood glucose levels you can gain more control over your diabetes.
We will help you to understand:
- which types of fats to choose and how much you should be eating
- how carbohydrate foods affect blood glucose levels and the types and amounts of these foods which you need
- where protein fits into the picture
- how you can include sugar and alcohol in your diet
- which foods to choose when eating out
We can also provide education in other areas of diabetes management including home blood glucose monitoring, medication, complications and footcare.
Whether you have type 1 or type 2 diabetes and whether you are newly-diagnosed or have had diabetes for a while and need an update, we can help you. We will tailor an eating and activity plan to suit your needs and lifestyle and help you to set realistic and achievable goals to manage your diabetes.
