Diabetics should eat a diet that contains foods from the five basic foods groups or the diabetic food chart, which is a modified version of the food pyramid. The caloric content of the diet varies, usually between 1200 and 2000 calories, with the higher calorie programs for men. Age and activity level are also considered for both men and women. In a diabetic diet, carbs and fats are an issue, and choices of "good" carbs and fats is imperative. To this end, food preparation has to be modified somewhat. Butter isn't used in cooking, and oils should be used minimally. Fresh herbs and spices take the place of butter, sugar and salt.
