Q. what is a diabetic diet? A. Generally, it's a diet that contains 40-60% carbohydrates, preferably complex ones, around 20-30% fat, preferably unsaturated and 10-35% protein. In addition, dietary fibers and non-nutrient sweeteners are recommended. This diet helps the body to lower the blood glucose levels.
In diabetics, with insulin not doing its job properly, blood sugar levels can become dangerously high. Since the Seventies, diabetics have been recommended a low-fat diet. This was because of the link to heart disease, to which diabetics are more prone.
