Diabetes Diet

Coming up with ideas for packed lunches can be challenging at the best of times – and for children or adults with diabetes, the task can seem impossible.

Breakfast is an important part of healthy eating, especially for those living with diabetes. But including it as part of the regular daily routine can be challenging for a number of reasons.

Savvy grocery shoppers are more likely to stock their pantry with a variety of healthy foods, which makes it easier to plan healthy meals.

Not all fruits and vegetables contain the same levels of sugar or fibre, both of which affect the carb count.

When you think about beginning your day on the right track, a good place to start is with a healthy breakfast. Breakfast cereals are a popular choice because they are quick and easy to prepare.

Part of your diabetes self-management includes understanding how carbohydrate intake affects your blood sugar levels, how much carbohydrate you should have at each meal and how much carbohydrate a food contains.

Setting goals for healthy eating doesn’t have to happen all at once. In fact, if you set and achieve a goal each day – or each week – you’ll have something to celebrate!
