Frequently asked question: What are you allowed to eat when you have diabetes?

In principle, someone with diabetes can eat everything, even a pastry, if he or she considers what to eat the rest of the day. Sugar-free products are not necessary, but sugarfree drinks are recommended.It is extra important for people with diabetes to eat healthily and regularly, and to exercise a lot. People with diabetes must carefully consider the number of carbohydrates they eat and adjust their medication use accordingly. Carbohydrates are found in, for example, bread, potatoes, pasta, rice, sugar, fruit and milk. After eating carbohydrates, the blood glucose level rises and insulin is needed to ensure that it does not get too high. People with diabetes therefore always have to think about what they eat and plan well.
