Diet Chart for Diabetes

Most diabetic patients have high cholesterol and high blood pressure and so they are more susceptible to heart disease. It is thus of crucial importance to keep not only the blood pressure and LDL cholesterol levels in check but also monitor the blood sugar levels. This can be achieved by exercising regularly, reducing stress and modifying the diet. An efficient diabetes diet prevents the blood glucose level from increasing too much and aims at lowering the LDL cholesterol levels and increasing HDL cholesterol, which mobilizes cholesterol from the various parts of the body towards the liver for elimination from the system.

A diabetic menu would normally consist of 1800 calories per day and when divided out will be 50% starches, 30% proteins and 20% fat. By following this diet, you will help to keep your blood sugar levels more under control and in turn, your health will become better.
