Diabetic Diet

A diabetes diet is a good dieting plan that is normally rich in nutrients and low in fat and calories. Key components are natural products, vegetables and grains. Food, long recognized as a vector of infectious disease, is now seen to have a role in the etiology of non-infectious diseases such as maturity-onset diabetes and obesity. The response to diet is a balance between age, smoking, weight, diabetic problems and the genetic makeup.
