There is a common belief that eating healthy foods or following a meal plan to control diabetes means that you can’t eat foods that you like. This is not true! Unfortunately, there are many such misconceptions about what people with diabetes can or cannot eat. In truth, those with diabetes can eat most of the foods that they have always enjoyed, including occasional sweets! Diabetes meal planning is a matter of learning to fit foods into an overall healthy diet that will help keep blood glucose, blood fat and cholesterol levels, blood pressure, and body weight in good ranges. A registered dietitian is a nutrition professional who can help figure out the best way to eat to keep diabetes under good control yet still enjoy favorite foods. Visit the American Dietetic Association web site at http://www.eatright.org to learn more about the role of registered dietitians in supporting healthy eating and Medical Nutrition Therapy for individuals with diabetes.
