Food safety for people with Diabetes

People with diabetes may be at greater risk of complications from some foodborne infections, especially when other health conditions are present. Preventing foodborne illness is an important part of overall self-care.

Follow safe food handling practices, avoid unpasteurized products and undercooked animal foods, and maintain appropriate refrigeration. Consult a healthcare professional about precautions specific to your health.
