Diabetics Not Eating Healthy Enough

A new study suggests that diabetics are eating the wrong things. In general, there’s “too much fat and sodium” and not enough healthy foods like veggies, fruits, whole grains, and fiber. While the study may find this surprising, I certainly don’t. Diabetics are no different than any other part of society and people everywhere are wrecking themselves with a poor diet.

But with diabetes, people need to be extra diligent about eating right. If someone is Type 2 diabetic, they can greatly improve their blood sugar by eating right and working out. Limiting fat and salt can help with things like high blood pressure, clogged arteries, and kidney disease. While other people have the “luxury” of eating poorly, diabetics don’t. In fact, no one really does. Our bodies need us to be smart.
