Dietary issues can present a Hobson’s choice in diabetes. Even when the intake is nutritious, assimilating it may be another matter. Then you also should deal with the onset of diabetic issues if you end up with an excessive amount of glucose or fat in your system. Too much carbohydrates in a meal, and its accompanying uncontrolled blood sugar ranges could be damaging to many body tissues: from our eyes’ lens, to neurons, small blood vessels, and even the kidneys. Fat can also be a problem with increased incidences of atherosclerosis, large vessel disease and cardiac complications. Knowing all this, what would then be the proper macronutrient for diabetics? There is enough medical literature to show that proteins are probably the best choice in relation to diabetes.
