Updated DRWF diabetes information resource on Healthy eating for diabetes published.

DRWF has published an updated version of our Healthy eating for diabetes leaflet as part of our diabetes information resources series.

The DRWF series of diabetes information resources focus on various aspects of living with and managing diabetes to reduce risk of complications.

DRWF Healthy Eating For Diabetes V2.0 August 2026 Cover

Healthy eating for diabetes (V2.0) by Azmina Govindji RD FBDA, Consultant Nutritionist and Registered Dietitian, and member of the DRWF Editorial Advisory Board, offers people both newly diagnosed and already living with the condition a starting guide for making healthy food choices.

It highlights three key messages to help you make better food choices:

1. Choose healthier carbohydrates
2. Reduce intake of added sugars
3. Cut down on ultra-processed foods

The leaflet said: “You don’t need to buy expensive foods or follow a special diet plan. Eating for diabetes is simply about regularly eating a range of healthy foods, and this will benefit the whole family.”

The full series of 12 resources covering a range of diabetes complications and tips for good self-management of the condition are published now and available to read online in digital download and audio formats. Printed copies can also be requested by emailing enquiries@drwf.org.uk.


DRWF diabetes information leaflets form a valuable part of the charity’s information resources available for people living with diabetes to offer the best possible guidance on how to self-manage effectively, as well as manage the associated health complications.

As part of our PIF TICK accreditation process, DRWF is committed to making sure all its information is reliable, evidence-based and accessible, to ensure we are a “trusted information creator”.

More diabetes information resources are currently being prepared and under review to follow soon!
