Diabetes and nutrition

It has been shown that the foods we eat affect glycemia (blood sugar level). A balanced diet, combined with the loss of a few extra kilos, has a positive effect on glycemia and is as important as taking medication (oral antidiabetics and/or insulin) to control Type 2 diabetes.
