Eating correctly is the KEY to good diabetes self-management. Because everyone has developed a lifetime of eating habits and food choices, a good diabetes meal plan usually begins with problem solving. A Bay Medical Diabetes Center dietitian will help you identify eating habits that must be adjusted. The dietitian will work with you to design a healthy and satisfying meal plan compatible with your food choices, and help you identify proper food choices necessary to control blood glucose levels. This can even be accomplished while eating out. The result is healthier eating and better control of your diabetes.
Topics covered by the dietitian may include:
- Losing or gaining weight
- Adjusting food for exercise
- Replacing meals during illness
- Adapting for special occasion/travel
- Dining out
