The diabetic patient whose weight is reduced, requires some more calories than other diabetic patient & the patients having weight above normal should take food of less than 2000 calorie so that their fat could be reduced.

For diet regulation the best method is that the patient examine his urine daily to access that how much cereals intake maintains his urine free of sugar.
