Diabetic Mellitus Diet

A healthy eating plan for a Diabetic person is a traditional low fat diet. This diet would have a ration of 25-30% fats, 50-55% carbs, and 20% protein. This is the kind of diet that most governmental authorities recommend. Some people have been able to reverse diabetes by making lifestyle and dietary changes.
