Diet & Nutrition Tools for Diabetics

There is no one-size-fits-all answer. Most guidelines suggest 45–60g carbohydrates per main meal and 15–30g per snack, totalling 130–200g daily. Low-carb approaches (under 130g/day) can be very effective for type 2 diabetes. Always discuss your personal target with your dietitian.

What is the glycemic index and why does it matter for diabetes? +

The glycemic index (GI) ranks carbohydrate foods from 0–100 based on how quickly they raise blood sugar. Low GI (≤55) foods cause a slower rise. High GI (≥70) foods cause rapid spikes. Choosing lower GI foods helps reduce post-meal blood sugar peaks.

What foods should diabetics avoid? +

Focus on reducing: sugary drinks, white bread and refined grains, pastries and sweets, fried foods, and processed snacks. Instead, choose vegetables, legumes, whole grains, lean protein and healthy fats. Total carbohydrate amount matters more than any single food.
