The Diabetes Food Guide Pyramid is a tool that shows how much you should eat each day from each food group for a healthy diet. The Diabetes Food Guide Pyramid differs from the old USDA Food Guide Pyraid and from USDA’s new MyPyramid. Until MyPyra-mid is modified for use by people with diabetes, the Diabetes Food Guide Pyramid is the best food guide for people with diabetes. The Diabetes Food Guide Pyramid places starchy vegetables such as peas, corn, potatoes, sweet potatoes, winter squash, and beans at the bottom of the pyramid, with grains. These foods are similar in carbohydrate content to grains. Cheese is in the Meat and Others group instead of the Milk group because cheese has little carbohydrate content and is similar in protein and fat content to meat.
