Diabetic Diet Don'ts

Don't fry foods instead bake, boil, poach or sauté in a nonstick pan. Steam or microwave vegetables. Buy tuna packed in water, not oil
Eat less high-fat red meat and more low-fat turkey and fish. Avoid organ meats
Limit the use of condiments such as ketchup, mustard and salad dress ion--they're high in salt and can be high in sugar, too
Rinse processed foods in water and, wherever possible, choose fresh foods over canned
Limit your salt (sodium content)
Read labels carefully. Soy sauce, brine and MSG, for example, contain a lot of sodium
Don't select ready to eat and junk foods items available to you
Don't smoke and stop alcohol consumption
Don't skip meals and medicine times
