Diabetics are being reminded that diet, exercise and taking their medications correctly, are the three main aspects involved in successfully managing their illness.
Speaking at a panel discussion Thursday November 15, Dietician in the Ministry of Health, Wellness and the Environment Alicia Ferdinand, noted that food plays a key role in managing diabetes.
Ferdinand said that while there is a lot of information about what a diabetic is not allowed to eat, people should not expect to have the same reaction to the same foods relative to blood sugar spikes.
