Is it safe for someone whom does not have Diabetes to eat a Diabetic Diet?



My husband has been diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes and High Cholesterol. In supporting his "new" Diabetic diet, I have opted to be on a Diabetic Diet with him. Also, my daughter is 10, and she is very thin, I was having her do this diet as well, but allow her to eat "junk" food on occasion. Is it nutritionally safe for my child to do a No Sugar/Low Fat diet as well?

A Diabetic Diet is actually a healthy diet, but distributed in a way to allow your body to process nutrients more efficiently. Diabetics are not necessarily barred from particular food products, but must integrate them in their dietary schedule. Diabetes educators work to assist individual diabetics to work their favourite foods into a diet for them. Much of this is focused on portions, eating smaller meals over longer periods of time and maintaining glucose counts. Source(s): A Diabetic who has just been "educated".
you should probably ask a doctor not yahoo users - this is a serious question
Yes. No sugar diets are beneficial to growing bodies. This is how all people should eat no sugar/low fat diets.
It is a proven fact that the diabetic diet is the healthiest diet for anyone. Go for it, and be healthy! High sugar/high fat is not healthy for anyone, including children. Lots of foods provide their own sugars, such as fruit and milk.

I'd ask your daughter's pediatrician how to monitor her for signs of malnutrition.
