Nothing is more confusing and frustrating for diabetic patients than their diet.
The diet for a Type 1 diabetic patient is different from a Type 2 diabetic patient. The diet for an obese person is different from that of a lean person. The diet for a 70 year old patient is different from that of a 30 year old patient. Daily caloric requirement reduces drastically as we age, especially after the age of 40. The diet for a sedentary person is different from that of an active person.
