By choosing healthy foods and being active, you can help manage your blood glucose levels and your body weight. For example, the management of blood glucose levels for a person with type 1 diabetes requires matching the amount of insulin to the carbohydrate in the foods eaten. However, there are different types of insulin and various regimes. The dietitians at Hunter Diabetes Centre, Mel and Angela, are on hand to help you make the right food choices whilst still being able to enjoy the food you eat.
