Dear Readers<br />
There is no one-size-fits all<br />
approach when it comes to<br />
making food choices, but it<br />
is important that people<br />
with diabetes, and those at<br />
risk of Type 2, are supported<br />
to choose the right foods for<br />
them to improve their<br />
health and quality of life.<br />
Peter Shorrick, Midlands Regional Head<br />
Diabetes UK<br />
That’s why we have issued<br />
new Diabetes UK nutrition<br />
guidelines for healthcare<br />
professionals. For the first<br />
time, the guidelines show<br />
how people with Type 2 diabetes might be able to achieve remission. Eating certain foods<br />
such as vegetables, fruits, wholegrains, fish, nuts and pulses can also help manage blood<br />
glucose levels and reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease in people with both Type 1 and<br />
Type 2 diabetes, as well as reduce the risk of Type 2 diabetes.<br />
These foods are usually associated with the Mediterranean-style diet, but can be adapted<br />
to cultural and personal preferences. Eating less red and processed meat, refined<br />
carbohydrates - such as white bread and rice - and drinking fewer sugar sweetened drinks,<br />
is also recommended.<br />
Being active daily and achieving at least 150 minutes of physical activity over a week<br />
through a variety of exercise can help people with diabetes lead healthy lives, and prevent<br />
the onset of Type 2 diabetes for those at risk.<br />
We hope that the new guidelines will help people enjoy food, while making healthy choices<br />
and being more active.<br />
