Diabetes Dietary Advice

There is an inconsistency in diabetes dietary guidance that restricts bananas and potatoes but not wheat. Diabetics are rarely counseled to reduce wheat consumption despite its high glycemic impact. Standard dietary recommendations for diabetics contradict the metabolic reality of whole grain foods' glycemic effect. Conventional dietary guidance advises diabetics to consume whole meal bread, whole grain bread, and whole grain cereals. Diabetics are typically advised to limit potatoes and bananas.
