Welcome to WADE, The Washington Association of Diabetes Educators
If you’ve just learned that you have diabetes or prediabetes, you probably have a lot of questions about what you can or can’t eat. Do you wonder if you can ever have your favorite food again? What happens when you are eating at a restaurant or a friend’s house? Do you have to change your whole diet just because you have diabetes?
The answer is NO. There is nothing that you can’t eat. You don’t have to give up your favorite foods or stop eating at restaurants.
But, it is important to know that everything you eat has an effect on your blood sugar. Learning to eat regular meals, controlling the amount you eat, and making healthy food choices can help you manage your diabetes better and prevent other health problems
