 * About the Diet: **

The diabetic diet is a special diet for diabetic people. People with diabetes don’t usually eat food with sugar and lots of glucose, if their glucose level is too high, they will need to go to the bathroom very often and they will become very thirsty. A diabetic diet is for people who have type one or type two diabetes, or have been told they are at high risk of developing diabetes. A diabetic diet can range in calories from 1,200 to 2,000 calories per day. The main purpose of the diabetic diet is to eat specific portions of carbohydrates and proteins at specific times throughout the day to keep blood sugar levels normal. People with diabetes take insulin every time their sugar level is too high, they are able to check their glucose level using a glucose meter they take their blood and insert it into the machine. The diabetic diet helps people to maintain a good glucose level. In the diet, they can eat all kinds of meat and seafood but they cannot eat sugar products and starchy vegetables.

**Why people follow this diet?** The main reason why people should follow this diet is because it is really helpful for people who are suffering from diabetes, people with diabetes should be very careful of what they eat, if the eat too much sugar and sweet products they can sometimes pass out and make them vomit. With the help of the diabetic diet, people can make their glucose level at a good rate and also keep their body healthy. Not only people who are diabetic follow this diet, people who might be developing diabetes might also follow this special diet because it might help preventing diabetes. Another reasons why many people follow this diet is because of the family, if one person is affected with diabetes, it can affect later to the persons child when the child is born because diabetes can occur by the jean.

**Advantages of the diabetic diet:**

A major advantage is that it helps keep your blood sugar level stabilized. Having a normal level of blood sugar for a diabetic is vital because it helps ward off any future problems which may occur.

A further benefit is that it helps the diabetic person avoid having the blood sugar levels fall too low which can result in them becoming hyperglycaemic. The body needs sugar in order to sustain its normal functions. It does this by converting the sugar in their blood into energy. Without this, they could suffer some serious health issues including going into a coma and possibly death.

One other advantage to a diabetic diet is that it can also help avoid getting hypoglycaemia which is when blood sugar level gets too high. This is mainly caused by eating too much the wrong foods like cookies and cake. If the blood sugar level gets too high it can cause serious damage by destroying the vessels that carry blood to the vital organs and can increase the risk of heart disease and stroke, kidney problems, vision problems and nerve damage.
