Frequently asked question: Can you eat what you want with diabetes?

Your body needs daily nutrition, preferably through a healthy and balanced regime. This is especially important if you have diabetes. There is no need to follow special diets or take strict measures. A sugar-free diet is not necessary, but very sugary foods and drinks make managing diabetes more difficult.
It is important to be aware of how and when you eat during the day. Routine is therefore important. For example, three meals a day and three (healthy) snacks in between often works well. It makes it easier then to understand the amount of insulin that you need, day and night, and how it can best be adjusted when necessary.
