1800 Calorie Diabetic Diet

An 1800 calorie diabetic diet means eating no more than 1800 calories of food each day.  You may need this diet to control your blood sugar, lose weight or lower your risk for heart problems.  Blood sugar is the amount of glucose (simple sugar) in your blood.  Glucose is the main source of energy for your body.  Glucose comes from carbohydrates in your diet.  Visit our recipe section for cooking ideas and shop for sugar free and low-carbohydrate products in our store.
