26th European Nutrition and Dietetics Conference

Nutrition and Diabetes

 Nutrition is a critical part of diabetes care. Balancing the accurate amount of carbohydrates, fat, protein along with fibre, vitamins then minerals helps us to maintain a healthy diet and a healthy lifestyle. Getting the balance right can help the body to stay in major condition, but what is the right balance of nutrients? People have been quarrelling over the ideal mix for generations and the discussion still rages today. For people with diabetes, there is at least one extra consideration for our nutritional needs and that is the question of how our blood sugar levels will respond to different diets.
