Question by hnfs73: Diabetes diet?
My mother in law just found out that she is pre-diabetic. Is there a good and simple diet to follow? Her dr really didn’t give her any guidelines.She just tests herself once a day. Thanks in advance.

The ‘diabetes diet’ would be a VERY good diet for everyone to follow, as it as totally balanced in just what the body needs and eliminates excessive carbohydrates. In fact, if everyone followed the diabetes diet, practically no one would get Type 2/adult onset diabetes! Here is a website that has all the info anyone could want about the diabetes diet.

i have found that the south beach diet does a great job explaining what diabetes is, and provides a good guide for meals, and eating pointers. it’s about cutting down on things that are “bad” for you and helping you maintain a healthy diet. it’s not about denying yourself sugar or carbs. it also encourages natural foods, and to stay away from processed foods. ex: real eggs versus egg beaters. real food.
Have your Mom go to an endocrinologist.
He/she will do a complete work up and you will meet with a dietitian and work out a diet that works well for your Mom.
Everyone is different.
