Diabetes UK – Care. Connect. Campaign. - Diabetes UK. Diet for Type 1 Diabetes. Transcript A healthy diet for type 1 diabetes is broadly similar to the guidelines for people without diabetes.
The differences between a diet for type 1 diabetes and someone without diabetes are: People with type 1 diabetes need to be more careful with intake of sweet foods The amount of carbohydrate eaten should be balanced with an appropriate amount of insulin The general guidelines for a healthy diet are: Eat at least 5 portions of fruit and vegetables each day Include fish and lean meats in preference to red meats Include unsaturated fat in preference to saturated fat Eat less sugar and salt.
Low-carbohydrate diet. Such diets are sometimes 'ketogenic' (i.e., they restrict carbohydrate intake sufficiently to cause ketosis).
The induction phase of the Atkins diet[1][2][3] is ketogenic. The term "low-carbohydrate diet" is generally applied to diets that restrict carbohydrates to less than 20% of caloric intake, but can also refer to diets that simply restrict or limit carbohydrates to less than recommended proportions (generally less than 45% of total energy coming from carbohydrates).[4][5]
