   A balanced diet that contains lots of wholegrain and fresh vegetables, fruits is a great start.
   Different people have varying views on the amount of carbohydrates you should eat, but the choice is up to you

   A well balanced diet is essential with careful monitoring of sugar and carbohydrates intake. The amount of carbohydrates a diabetic can eat can vary from person to person. The activity level and type of carbohydrate may affect blood sugar levels.

   The best foods for diabetics to eat should include foods that are low in carbohydrates such as meat, which is considered a protein, and most vegetables.  Fruit is good, but certain fruits can increase blood sugar (blood glucose level) due to the amount of carbohydrates they contain, with the exception of cantaloupe which can actually decrease blood sugar levels.  (I did a hub about the best low carbohydrate fruits and my 19-year-old son was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes when he was 4 years old.) Foods such as breads, pastas and the like are very high in carbohydrates.

   A diabetic patient should have a lot of vegetables, especially leafy vegetables. Almond milk and coconut milk are also very good. They must also drink plenty of water
