Too much fat and cholesterol can be harmful to people with diabetes. Food high in fat includes fatty red meat, whole dairy foods (milk, cream, cheese, ice cream), egg yolks, butter, salad dressings, vegetable oils, and many desserts.
Sausages, burgers, meat pies, frankfurters also contain large amounts of saturated fats which can raise blood cholesterol levels.
Diet Plans for diabetes
There is no one diet for diabetes, but follow nutrition guidelines in the Food Pyramid and watch carbohydrate intake.??
People with diabetes can eat the same foods the family enjoys and healthy meals will benefit everyone.
A good meal plan should fit in with your routine, eating habits, medications and other health issues and will help keep you on track to lose and maintain an ideal weight, lower blood pressure, cholesterol and improve blood glucose.
There are many ways to organise and personalise a meal plan to suit you but take into account your own food goals.
It can be overwhelming if you’ve never had to watch what you eat before so start reading labels and food information and take notice of what happens to your body when you eat different foods.
