Planning Meals

When you have diabetes, eating well takes practice and planning. A good balance of the right foods, along with regular exercise and your prescribed medications, can help you feel better and stay healthier. Work with your doctor and dietitian to create a meal plan that:
- works with your schedule
- keeps your weight on track
- improves your blood glucose, blood pressure, and cholesterol numbers.
A great way to get started is with the special meal planning bundle available at shopdiabetes.org.

Glycemic Index and Diabetes
