Relevant for diabetes management: Give important tips, including label reading and using great photos of all the key foods in the store. Find more fiber, avoid excess sodium, discover sweeteners, choose leaner protein, find whole grains, and learn about the importance of fruits and veggies and how to fit those into your meals so you get enough. Learn portion control. Find margarines that are low in saturated fat and trans fat and even contain phytochemicals to lower cholesterol. Point out lower-fat dairy options and learn to like skim milk. How do you find carbs on the label and count them for servings?
