| There is little evidence that consumption of bitter gourd may improve blood sugar control but effective management of diabetes cannot be achieved without an appropriate diet.
Obesity does increase risk of developing diabetes.
Dietary requirements vary from person to person, depending on height, weight, age, gender. An individual’s diet should be planned taking into consideration one’s culture, eating habits, lifestyle, day to day activities and so on. As a result, there is no one diet regimen/plan that will work for everyone in the same age group. It is advisable to seek individualized advice from a Dietitian.

Posted by ghk2233 | If obesity is such a serious threat to diabetics, can the health authorities in Singapore formulate a diet regimen for diabetics of various age groups based on the types of food easily accessible from local sources? |
