Talk:Diabetic diet

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] Article name

The most commonly known (at least in UK) term is "Diabetic diet" (981,000 Google hits) vs "Diet for people with diabetes" 9,130 hits. I wondered about there being more than one recomendation, ie "Diabetic diets" and this has just 331,000 hits. I have therefore moved the article to Diabetic diet.

[edit] "Low in fat"?

"The diet recommended for people who suffer from diabetes mellitus is one that is high in dietary fibre, especially soluble fibre, but low in fat (especially saturated fat)." I have heard many recommend an increased intake of fat, even going so far as a ketogenic diet, as it helps keeping blood glucose levels down. - Wintran ^(talk) 11:59, 19 March 2007 (UTC)
