People with diabetes don't need to eat special foods. The foods that are on your meal plan are good for everyone in your family. Try to eat foods that are low in fat, salt, and sugar and high in fiber, such as beans, fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Making healthy food choices will help you reach and stay at a weight that's good for your body, keep your blood glucose in a desirable range, and prevent heart and blood vessel disease.
