Eating right for diabetes comes down to three things:

What you are eating. - You should eat mostly vegetables and definitely cut back on refined carbohydrates. You must avoid foods and beverages high in sugar at all costs!!

When you are eating - What you eat is important. However, when you eat may be even more important. Be sure to follow regular meal and snack times to keep your blood sugar levels in check.

How much you are eating - Portion sizes matter. Even if you eat very healthy meals, if you eat too much you will gain weight, which is a factor in diabetes.
