When diabetes is well controlled FBG should be as regards her food the total caloric intake has to be based on ideal body weight, extent of daily exercise and whether she needs to reduce weight. High carb foods, simple carbs, high fat cheese, junk foods, pasties, bakery items, sweetened aerated Chat Doctor.  Should consume a good deal of green leafy vegetables, salads and permitted fruits (about 100 g a day). Whole grain products are better. Avoid red meat. Poultry and fish, chicken in moderate quantity (with in the specified caloric need) can be taken. She should exercise for at least 1 hour a day.
