Brief Answer:
There is nothing called diabetic diet

Detailed Answer:
Good day.
noted your concern. The diet any healthy individual should follow is the diet for a person with diabetes and hypertension. A diet which is low in fat and salt, and low in carbohydrates is a good diet. May I ask you how long she has been having diabetes for ? What is her Hba1c level? I may be able to answer better with these informations. Most diabetes and diabetes patients need mediations life long. But we may be able to modify if strict diet control and exercise are followed .
Note: For further follow-up, discuss your blood glucose reports with our diabetologist. Click here.
