Aug 27 Pre-Diabetes - Nutrition at INTEGRIS Southwest Medical Center |
Is there a special diet for prediabetes? Just as there isn't one diet for diabetes, there isn't one for prediabetes, either. In both cases, the best approach should be individualized based on health history, calorie needs, physical activity and medications. It's not necessary, or even possible, to banish every gram of sugar. Instead, focus on choosing wholesome foods, in reasonable portions.
Join Karey as she discussed simple suggestions for deciphering food labels and adapting food choices. |
