    my understanding is that a low carb diet is good for diabetics..... i am sure there is some research on the internet you could probably find

    it doesnt have to be expensive u can eat lean protein and salads and veg

    hope that helps some

    Each of the words in the green frame lead to more information.

    See also the research for Vitamin D and Diabetes you will find it much easier to control if you body is getting sufficient Vitamin d3 to meet it's daily need It would be interesting if you asked your dietician to comment on that research. Do be aware though that vit d food sources supply only 2% of your daily need 98% from sunlight so during the Winter Early Spring you need to supplement or live abroad.
