Vegetarian diet for a Type 2 Diabetic: Better or worse?

Q:   I am a 68 year old Type 2 Diabetic. Is a vegetarian or meat diet better for me?

A: You can help control your diabetes with either type of diet.  The best diet is one you will faithfully follow and will keep you at a normal weight.  Frequently type 2 diabetics are overweight so getting to a normal weight is very important.  For suggestions about meal planning go to: http://www.diabetes.org/food-and-fitness/food/
