As you know, your eating habits and physical activity have a tremendous impact on your blood sugar control, health and general well being. The ICAN team developed this web page in order to link you to good, reliable sources of information regarding diabetes, weight management, nutrition and diet, and physical activity. When a nutritionist uses the word DIET, they are referring to what and how much you eat on a regular basis. Unfortunately, the word ‘diet’ has also been used to mean a weight reducing meal plan. For the purposes of this web page, we will be using the term diet to refer to your usual eating pattern. Our intention is to provide you with additional educational support concerning your diet and physical activity needs. If you ever have any questions about your diet, call your RD case manager. She is the expert in nutrition and how it relates to your health. We will provide some basic nutrition information that is important for people with type 2 diabetes who are managing their weight and provide links to websites where you can get more detailed information.
