Is There A Specific Diet That Tells You What To Eat?

A DiabetesTeam Member asked a question 💭
Ponca City, OK

Is there a diet plan that tells you what to eat each meal. I don't mean a diet that gives you a bunch of choices. A diet that is specific on what you should eat. I have a hard time keeping my blood sugar down. I am on 70-30 novalog. I will follow an exact diet but without choices. that is where I get into trouble. I love food

I had the carb counting explained to me the easiest way to understand. Divide your plate in half On the part that is half fill with nonstartchy veggies. Then, your protein on the other side with three 1/2 servings of startchy choices. I hope this makes sense

That's a good one, id see nutritionalist.. As what food I do good on wont be the same for you.
And since I on insulin I count carbs and have to account for everything I eat (no free foods at all for me)

You could ask for one to be written for you.
My nutritionist did one for me that is very very simple.
For example it says, 120g protein and I choose the protein. 100 g of green vegetables etc. and o choose the leafy greens.
I weigh the food and have about 90% compliance with it!

We are all different with the same Disease. You should talk to your doctor about seeing a nutritionist. Please take care.
