Managing diabetes begins with an understanding of the lifestyle changes necessary to maintain good health-and proper nutrition is the foundation of that understanding. This program introduces key facts and actions that form the dietary front in the battle against diabetes. Viewers learn about meal choices designed to control blood glucose, maintain normal blood fat levels, and prevent or mitigate health care complications. Although frequent consumption of leafy, vitamin- and mineral-rich vegetables is part of the discussion, the emphasis is on formulating a balanced diet rather than denying the benefits of a certain food group. Advice on meat types, portion sizes, and cooking approaches is also included.
