Healthy eating

We've got healthy eating advice for everyone – whether you have type 1, type 2 or another type of diabetes. It's also relevant if you are newly diagnosed or have been told you are at risk of diabetes.

An important part of managing your condition is to eat a healthy, balanced diet. There's no such thing as a 'diabetic' diet or 'diabetic' recipes.

You'll find advice and tips on everything from healthy swaps, understanding food labels, how to cook healthier meals, meal planning and shopping on a budget. If you're in need of healthier mealtime inspiration, go to our recipe finder.
