A diabetic diet is a diet restricted in sugar, fats and fast acting carbohydrates in order to control the insulin levels in the blood. Diabetic sufferers should always seek advice from their dietitian and/or medical team as to the best dietary option for them. Many diabetics also have high blood pressure and high cholesterol levels which will require medical support and medication and which may affect the type of foods allowed.
