Dear Healthcare Lady,
I love to eat potatoes but I am a diabetic. I know there are many kinds of potatoes such as red, white, and sweet potatoes. Which one should I eat? Bill

Dear Bill,
Potatoes are a part of the starch food group and are a very healthy food. However, you should know that you must keep your portion small (1/2 cup).

Take this test. Which potato is the most nutritious?

Red Potato.............. White Potato................................................Sweet Potato
Answer
1. Sweet potato
2. Red potato
3. White potato



You should eat a potato about the size of a red potato that will fit into the palm of your hand. About 2 inch around.
