This week it is World Diabetes Day.

The theme for this year is "Eyes on Diabetes".  This campaign raises awareness about eye damage complications from diabetes.

There are a number of pieces of the puzzle making up the right diet for diabetes. These include what to eat, how much to eat, and when to eat. Fats, fibre, salt, protein, the amount (including carbohydrate counting) and type of carbohydrate (glycemic index), including sugar, are all important pieces of this puzzle.
