What are diabetes?
Show answer
A person with diabetes must control their blood glucose. They should eat regular meals, choose wholegrain, high-fibre carbohydrates that release glucose slowly, limit sugary foods and drinks, and keep to a healthy weight. Adapting a recipe means cutting added sugar, swapping refined for wholegrain staples, and balancing the meal so glucose rises gently.
