People who have diabetes and that's some 16 million Americans Ameri-cans need to follow an ating plan. While it used to be that diabetics dia-betics were advised to completely delete sugar and follow very strict meal plans, the diabetic diet today to-day is not too different from a normal healthy eating plan. Sugar does not need to be taken out of the diet altogether, and substituting sub-stituting whole-grain, high-fiber carbohydrates for more refined products helps control blood sugar, according to dieticians at the University of Utah's Nutrition Nutri-tion Clinic in the College of Health. For example, diabetics might try brown rice and whole wheat bread instead of the white, and might add dried fruits to a whole-grain cereal or yogurt. University of Utah dieticians suggest diabetics use the Diabetes Diabe-tes Food Pyramid to develop an eating plan and stick to it for optimal op-timal blood glucose control. The largest food group, at the bottom of the pyramid, is the grain, beans and starchy vegetable group. Diabetics Dia-betics should eat more servings from this group six or more per day than from any other group. The total amount of carbohydrates carbohy-drates eaten and timing of consumption con-sumption is more of a concern than the type of carbohydrate consumed. People with diabetes need the same amount of protein as anyone any-one else 10-20 percent of total Our Family of Happy Patients is Growing The North Orem IMC Health Center is a full-service family practice medical c linic.

Most Americans get more than enough protein on a daily basis. Cutting down on animal ani-mal protein means less saturated fat and cholesterol in the diet good for diabetes, who are at an increased risk for developing heart disease. The exact number of servings of the pyramid groups that a diabetic dia-betic person needs depends on their diabetes goals, calorie and nutrition needs, lifestyle and food preferences. Registered dieticians at the U of U Nutrition Clinic are available to help with diabetes management by creating meal plans based on individual needs, said Amy Reeder, M.S., R.D., CD. Reeder advises diabetics to discuss dis-cuss alcohol consumption with their doctor because drinking may affect other medical conditions or interfere with certain medications. medica-tions. Guidelines may include one or two servings once or twice a week, and choosing light beer and dry wine with fewer calories. Many wine coolers and mixed drinks contain a lot of sugar and should be counted as part of the eating plan. Physical activity, in addition to proper diet, is beneficial, since exercise usually lowers blood sugar and may also help insulin work better.
