I see there have been lots of responses to the right diabetic diet.  With my background in endocrinology, I have very specific feelings about the diabetic diet.  This does not mean that you are stuck eating bland food.  Probably the biggest mistake that diabetics make is not eating at least 3 meals a day.  You actually will do better with 6 small meals a day.  Rule of thumb is to always eat protein at every meal.  Do not make the entire meal protein, but get some form of protein.  Your best carbohydrates are in the form of fruits and vegetables.  Avoid the rice, pasta, and breads.  You can have some just don’t make the main staple of your diet.

If you would like more information about diabetes and the diabetic diet, feel free to contact me directly at drlarson@fitnessandhealthsource.com.  I do individual counseling as well as small groups.
