So I hope you like carrots, because they’re a big part of the 1200 calorie diabetic diet. They have a gentle sweetness that your body is designed to crave, as it regulates your insulin level. Make sure you eat a handful of carrots for lunch, and feel free to snack on them during the day as well. That’s another big part of the 1200 calorie diabetic diet - constant grazing. It’s better to get your calories and sugars in small doses throughout the day rather than skipping meals and then gorging afterwards. In fact, it’s downright dangerous for you to skip meals. You have to regulate your blood-sugar on an ad-hoc basis, so don’t think it can be done all at once.
