Everyone regardless of whether they have diabetes or not (or pre-diabetes) is recommended to eat a healthy and balanced meal. There aren\u2019t certain foods that must be eaten or avoided. However, each individual may find that different ways of eating fit best with their personal lifestyle, culture and health goals. Ideally, if you have any questions, or need a bit of extra support, have a chat with your doctor about booking an appointment with an Accredited Practising Dietitian. There are some additional helpful resources at the bottom too.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<h6><strong>These are foods that everyone regardless of being diagnosed with pre-diabetes should aim to have in small amounts and only sometimes.\u00a0<\/strong><\/h6>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u00a0If you\u2019ve recently been told that you have pre-diabetes, this is a condition in which your blood glucose levels are both:<\/span><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Higher than normal (higher than 7.8 mmol\/L), or;<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Not high enough to be diagnosed as type 2 diabetes (less than 11.1 mmol\/L).<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">(Source: <\/span><\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.diabetesaustralia.com.au\/living-with-diabetes\/managing-your-diabetes\/blood-glucose-monitoring\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Diabetes Australia<\/span><\/i><\/a><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">)<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Your risk of developing type 2 diabetes becomes<strong> 10 to 20 times higher<\/strong> when you are diagnosed with pre-diabetes (<\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Source: <\/span><\/i><a href=\"https:\/\/www.healthdirect.gov.au\/pre-diabetes\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">HealthDirect<\/span><\/i><\/a><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">).<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Your diet plays an important role in keeping you staying healthy and well by;<\/strong><\/p>\n<ul>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Helping you maintain your general health<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Keeping your blood glucose and lipid (fat) levels in range<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Maintaining your blood pressure and body weight at healthy levels<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400;\" aria-level=\"1\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Preventing pre-diabetes developing into type 2 diabetes<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2><strong>What foods to eat less of with pre-diabetes?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">If you\u2019ve been diagnosed with pre-diabetes, there are certain foods that you should avoid or eat less often because they aren\u2019t as nutritious, and they can also make your pre-diabetes worse if eaten regularly.
