While some doctors would advise you to totally abstain yourself from carb intake, I won't suggest you to do so. Why? Because carb is what our body needs to produce energy. Carbs contain many nutrients without which our body will become weak. As you can see, carb is not our enemy; and it is possible to lower carb intake without abstaining from carbs altogether. Ideally, your diet must not contain more than 55-65% of carbohydrates.
Your diet should also contain at least 11%-18%. This doesn't mean that you will be eating fat all day long. You should eat more of lean types of protein such as egg whites, white meat chicken and turkey, and soy products. Try to avoid animal fat as it is notorious for increasing cholesterol; levels in our body, which may result in heart diseases.
Your diet should also include at least 25 grams of fiber. Fiber is essential because it helps lower your blood sugar levels. Foods such as whole-grain breads, cereals and pastas, oats and other whole grains, brown rice, lentils and beans, fruits, vegetables and nuts contain a high amount of fiber and should be included in your diet.
Along with having the ideal daily diet for type 2 diabetes, you should also drinks lots of water: at least eight glasses of water per day, if no more. This will help keep your body moving.
