Diabetic Nutrition or Diabetic diet refers to the diet that is recommended for people with diabetes mellitus, or high blood glucose. There is abundant disagreement relating to what this diet ought to accommodate. Since carbohydrate is the macronutrient which raises blood glucose levels most importantly, the greatest debate is regarding how low in carbohydrates the diet ought to be. This is because although lowering carbohydrate intake will lead to reduced blood glucose levels, but as we know it is the best source of calories too and hence one can improve the health in a big way just by making small changes to the diet, while still enjoying their favorite foods. A diabetes diet is simply a healthy eating plan that is high in nutrients, low in fat, and moderate in calories (carbohydrates too). Manufacturers are now keen towards Diabetes Nutrition on introducing new low calorie food products with sugar substitutes and less oil, in view of the increasing consumer interest toward healthy consumption and facilitate diabetes prevention and its concomitant risk factors.
