A healthy diet can help people with diabetes keep their blood sugar levels under control and prevent complications.
The kind of food you eat has a great impact on your blood sugar levels. It's that way for everyone, but if you have diabetes, you probably know it better than anyone. When you eat calories you don't need, especially carbohydrates (carbs), your blood sugar levels rise. Over time, regularly high blood sugar levels can lead to serious, long-term problems, such as nerve, kidney, and heart damage.
