Please keep in mind that not all the recipes presented here are necessarily appropriate for all people with diabetes or that all the recipes will fit into every meal plan. No two meal plans are alike. Work with your health care provider, diabetes educator or dietitian to design your very own meal plan that's right for you and includes the foods you love. A key message for people with diabetes is "Carbs Count." Foods high in carbs (carbohydrates) - bread, tortillas, rice, crackers, cereal, fruit, juice, milk, yogurt, potatoes, corn, peas, sweets - raise your blood sugar levels the most.
For many people, having 3 or 4 servings of a carb choice at each meal and 1 or 2 servings at snacks is about right. Remember to keep an eye on your total number of servings. For example, if you choose to have dessert, cut back on potatoes.
