A member asked:
I have just been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. grams of sugar in foods, how many grams should i keep it under?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Diabetes: Rather than think in terms of grams of sugar, focus on eating healthy foods. Check out http://www.diabetes.org/food-and-fitness/food/what-can-i-eat/ & http://www.mayoclinic.org/diseases-conditions/diabetes/in-depth/diabetes-diet/art-20044295. Then ask your Family Doc for referral to nutritionist & diabetic educator. Check your feet regularly & eyes at least annually.
