Calories don't matter too much, within reason. Sugar intake is the problem, not calories. Assuming it is type 2 diabetes you need to avoid sugar, not only sucrose but glucose and fructose too. Avoid fruit juice, sodapops, ice cream, candy, chocolate, confectionary. Even be careful about food sauces as they often contain a lot of sugar, eg sweet and sour sauce, cheese sauce. Use your own body indicators. If your vision gets blurred at some distances that may be lens osmosis caused by diabetes so that tells you to cut your sugar more and if you do so quickly then your eyes should improve again. If you urinate frequently at night you are taking in too much sugar before bed. If you live in a hot country ants in the toilet will indicate sugar in the urine. If some foods make you want to sleep that can be diabetes. Buy a blood sugar meter to monitor your blood sugar level frequently. Normal levels for non diabetics after 8 hours fasting (as you sleep) are up to 120 and for diabetics up to 140 is ok but above that you need to cut down more on sugar. Excercise regularly, even just an active daily routine shopping etc will do but dont become too sedintary. Check your blood pressure, cholesterol and triglicerides too as these are related to diabetes.
