diabetes diet information

Diabetes diets have sure changed in the last thirty to forty years.  Back then, it was thought a diabetic had to avoid sugar entirely.Today we understand much more about diabetes, for instance we know now that a diabetic person is able to eat table sugar, but should eat it in very small quantities and should be part of a variable diet.Eating less fatty foods and less processed foods with lower portions of protien and eating more fresh foods is exactly what doctors are reccomending that all humans be eating to stay healthy, well guess what this is very close to being identical to what a diabetes diet is also.
