6. Vegetables that grow above the ground, except peas and dried beans, should be eaten in quantities sufficient to avoid hunger. Three ordinary servings of these vegetables may be included in each meal. Canned vegetables are palatable and wholesome. Fresh vegetables are, however, preferable. 7. Meat and eggs should be eaten sparingly. As much harm may result from excessive protein as from excessive carbohydrate. The diet for the day should never contain more than 60 grams (2 ounces) of lean meat, weighed cooked, and three eggs. Thirty grams (1 ounce) of bacon, weighed cooked, may be included. Meat includes chicken, game, and fish. 8. Fats, including butter or oleomargarine, nut butter, bacon fat, olive oil, Wesson oil, or other salad oil may be eaten freely. 9. Cream is a very useful food for diabetic patients, and may be taken freely. Milk is relatively high in carbohydrate and less nutritious. 10. The amount of fat, such as butter or cream, should be adjusted so as to provide adequate, but not excessive, nutrition. A rising body-weight calls for less food and, under such circumstances, the amount of fat should be reduced. 11. Coffee and tea should be used sparingly, not in excess of one cupful of either at each meal. 12. Condiments, such as salt, pepper and vinegar, may be used in reasonable amount. If sugar appears in the urine, bread should be omitted. If it persists after thus reducing the carbohydrate intake, the condition of the patient is severe enough to warrant instituting the more accurate management discussed herein.
