Diabetes
How can I control my diabetes? You can help control your blood sugar (also called
blood glucose) and diabetes when you eat healthy, get enough physical activity, and stay at a
healthy weight.
A healthy weight also helps you control your blood fats (cholesterol) and lower your blood
pressure.
Many people with diabetes also need to take medicine to help control their blood sugar.
Eat Healthy
Using the Food Guide Pyramid helps you eat a variety of healthy
foods. Variety means eating foods from each of the food groups
every day. When you eat different foods each day, you get the
vitamins and minerals you need.
You may need to eat one, two or three starch/carbohydrate servings at a meal. If you need to eat
more than one serving at a meal, choose different foods from this food group. For example:
Breakfast: ¾ cup dry cereal and 1 slice of bread—2 servings
Lunch: a cup of rice and ½ cup of cooked plantains—2 servings
Dinner: ½ cup of pasta and one bread stick—2 servings
Snack: 6 crackers—1 serving
Total for the day: 7 servings. Notice that the carbohydrates are balanced at the meals. This can
help you control your blood sugars.
Vegetables
Fruit is healthy for everyone, including people with diabetes. Fruit gives
you energy, vitamins and minerals and fiber.
Fat-free and low-fat milk and yogurt are healthy for everyone,
including people with diabetes. Milk and yogurt give you
energy, protein, calcium, vitamin A, and other vitamins and
minerals.
Drink fat-free (skim or nonfat) or low-fat (1%) milk each day.
Eat low-fat or fat-free yogurt. They have less total fat,
saturated fat and cholesterol.
How many servings do I need each day? 2 to 3 servings each day. Note: If you are
pregnant or breastfeeding, eat four to five servings of milk and yogurt each day.
Fats and oils include butter, margarine, lard and oils that we add to
foods and use to cook foods. Some oils are canola, olive and
vegetable. Fats are also found in meats, dairy products, snack foods
and some sweets. To control your diabetes, it is best to eat foods with less fat and less saturated
fat (fat we get from meat and animal products).
Sweets are sugary foods that have calories but not very many vitamins and minerals. Some sweets
are also high in fat—like cakes, pies, and cookies.
Eating too many sugary and high fat foods makes it hard to control your blood sugar and weight. If you do
eat fats and sweets, eat small portions.
