Anita has recently been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Which kind of diet is best for her?
One high in fiber, with a variety of fruit and vegetables, and low in both sugar and fat, especially saturated fat. A person with diabetes should eat more of the foods in the bottom of the pyramid (grains, beans, vegetables) than those on the top (fats and sweets).
- a diet with vegetables and fruits that are rich in calcium and phosphorus.
