The Diabetes Food Pyramid divides food into six groups:
•Grains and Starches
•Vegetables
•Fruit
•Milk and Dairy
•Meat and Meat Substitutes
•Fats, Sweets, and Alcohol
These groups or sections on the pyramid vary in size.The largest group—grains, beans, and starchy vegetables—is on the bottom. This means that you should eat more servings of grains, beans, and starchy vegetables than of any of the other foods.
The smallest group—fats, sweets, and alcohol—is at the top of the pyramid. This tells you to eat very few servings from these food groups.
Servings
The Diabetes Pyramid gives a range of servings. If you follow the minimum number of servings in each group, you would eat about 1600 calories and if you eat at the upper end of the range, it would be about 2800 calories. Most women, would eat at the lower end of the range and many men would eat in the middle to high end of the range if they are very active.

Hi,
Yes, the article which you found good is true also. But results of remedies like taking bittergord juice or fenugreek seeds are individualized. They should be taken at the right time and correct amount. A diabetic diet is no different than a balanced diet. I recommend my patients to have at least 2 medium bowls of salad vegetables and 1/2 serving of low GI fruits in a day to improve the fiber content of the diet. One should go in for whole products rather than refined and simple carbohydrates(sugars). Diabetics need to keep a watch on their dietary fat consumption too. If you have any more questions you can contact me for a proper diet plan.
