Good news: there is no special diet for people with diabetes.

The healthy diet for people with diabetes is the healthy diet recommended for everyone. Although choosing your food wisely and adopting sensible eating habits can help you manage your diabetes, you can still enjoy a wide variety of foods as part of a balanced diet.

Try to get more active too, not only to control your weight and your diabetes, but to reduce your risk of heart disease, high blood pressure and stroke.

If you are overweight, losing weight will help you control your diabetes. You should aim to lose weight slowly over time rather than by drastic dieting. Even if you don't manage to get to your ideal weight, losing a small amount and keeping it off will help you.
