What to look for on product labels:

• Make sure there are no animal derived ingredients, the most common are milk solids, casein, whey, gelatine, and egg products
• Watch out for partially hydrogenated vegetable oils, these are actually as bad as saturated fats which are found in many processed foods
• Always check the nutritional facts, the ideal serving of food should have no more than 2 grams of fat

In summary, a healthy well balanced diet should contain a balance of carbohydrate, protein, and fat; your diet should include a variety of fruits and vegetables that contain all the vitamins and minerals needed to achieve all the benefits from diabetes nutrition.
