A member asked:

Being diagnosed as a type ii diabetic, i am curious to know what foods i should eat. what should i look out for in food labels? sugar? carbs? fats?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

All of the above: The best way to get the answer to this dilemma is to have one or two sessions with a registered dietician. There is a wealth of information put out by the american diabetes association, but start with a formal consult and then go from there.
