DASH Diet: An Eating Plan For Diabetes Management
The DASH (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) eating plan is an acceptable eating pattern for people who have diabetes. In addition to promoting blood pressure control, this eating pattern has been shown to improve insulin resistance, hyperlipidemia, and even being overweight/obese. This balanced approach promotes consumption of a variety of foods and is appropriate for the entire family. The appeal of the DASH eating pattern for patients is that it is also practical; it does not require special foods or supplements.
