Diabetic Nutrition Question

Question
Privet, My father is a 60 year old man, just shy of optimal weight-- with type II diabetes. (ongoing to type I, we suspect) The problem is that he doesn't know what ingredients or foods are the best for him in his condition. Which would you recommend to help maintain healthy glucose levels?

He doesn't have the best eating habits, so some sort of diet ideas would be wonderful. I would also like to know about what foods to avoid so we can help give him the best quality of life with diabetes.

Spasiba,
Nicole

Answer
Privet Nicole,

There are two ways for your father to do this. One is to listen to his doctor or dietitian, another is to educate himself on the basics and/or follow a reputable plan. Here are a few ideas of getting started.
