An unhealthy diet of high fat and sugary foods, excessive consumption of caffeine and alcohol, and low intake of whole grains and vegetables will leave us unhealthy. A registered dietitian is the best person to talk to about your diabetic diet. Remember, like all major changes in life, eating healthy will take time to perfect. Making one change at a time may be the best way to begin. Build gradually on your successes, and reevaluate any problems you may be having.
Many people view diets as isolated events with starting and stopping points.
If you choose to follow a healthy diet, make this choice for life. Mild dehydration can result in fatigue. Making changes to last a lifetime will take time, planning and commitment. To be successful at change, we have to give value to the changes we are contemplating. These healthy changes will help you to take the reins of fear that stem from living with the complications of diabetes.
