If you're looking for a “diabetic diet” full of bland, boring foods and completely devoid of any desserts, indulgences, or the other little taste treats that make life worth living, you are out of luck. The so-called diabetic diet is largely a myth; people with diabetes can and do enjoy a wide variety of foods, the same foods everyone else can eat. The key is moderation, a focus on healthier carb choices, and a keener awareness of how foods affect your blood sugars and body.
