This will be a major section of this website.
If you are newly diagnosed as a diabetic and are overweight (not unlikely or any of us), it may help you to assess what your current diet and caloric intake is by honestly keeping track of everything you eat. However, if you don't want to do this, it really doesn't matter! How you used to live and eat before you were knew you were diabetic really may have little to do with what you will eat and how you will live in the future as a diabetic!
Rather than dwelling on the failures of your past diet, forget about that entirely. Craft yourself a plan which gives you the proper foods and caloric intake to get you where you should be - not where you were in the past. The food pages at the Diabetic Life Diet website discuss some specific foods that will serve to greatly aid you in your efforts at dietary control of diabetes and answer what is a diabetic diet plan and also talk about some foods which likely you will have to avoid - such as whole grains for diabetic diets of those who want to control diabetes through dietary control and lifestyle intervention alone. There is no real typical diabetic diet plan, or perhaps the real typical diabetic diet plan actually wrong headed when it relates to both diabetic health and diabetic weight loss progress.
