Oh goodness, no! You are not doomed. Far from it. If you have diabetes, heart disease, high blood pressure, and high cholesterol, the eating prescription for you is the same healthy eating everyone on the planet should be doing. First, get yourself an appointment with a registered dietitian who is also a certified diabetes educator.

Then, read up on how to eat right here on dLife.com:
