'Diabetic food' may refer to the types of food that are beneficial or harmful for individuals with diabetes to consume. Beneficial foods include foods with low sodium and sugar, and minimal processing (such as, the processing that removes the whole grain from white bread), and harmful foods include the opposite. 'Diabetic food' may also refer to diets that are more likely to prevent or cause diabetes, with diets high in sugars, sodiums, and processed fats more likely to cause diabetes, and diets low in sugars, etc, more likely to prevent diabetes.
