How can some Diabetics keep their sugar normal?

I have Family members with this disease and was wondering if there was a diet or something that would help.
Answer:
Management of diabetes is achieved through diet, exercise, portion control and medication.There is no one size fits all treatment.
The most important part of managing diabetes is education. This is a patient controlled disease.The doctor, dietitian and diabetes educator are parts of your treatment team. YOU are in charge.
Encourage your family members to become educated by reading diabetes publications written in the past five years.There are magazines and books .They could join a support group and make new friends.
Good luck.
obvious answer: low sugar. not so obvious answer: low carb. Carbs turn into sugars when they are eaten in excess.. They can also get blood monitors that only require a small amount of blood to be used and can elp them stay on track with their new eating style
You can find some very useful nutritional and dietary information at the ADA website: http://www.diabetes.org/nutrition-and-re... You can also speak with a registered dietitian at the local hospital. Best of luck! Hope this helps!
