Hi @A DiabetesTeam Member,
You can go to the Atkins website and click on Atkins100.
They have detailed menus.

Since most diabetics can handle 100-130 net carbs daily, Atkins100 is a good choice. Adjust up or down as needed over time.

Enjoy.
Good luck.

A Diabete...

Hi warriors,
Diagnosed February 2021, A1C 13.5.

I control my diabetes with right eating, portion control, Japanese science and medicine, exercise if your doctors allow, attitude, and a compelling reason to do what is necessary. I sleep 6-7 hours nightly, 8 is better. I do 10-15 minutes self care daily. Baby steps.

I test at least 4-6 times daily.
1) upon waking- fasting blood glucose number, less than 7.0(126) is good.
2) 2 hours after eating my most carb laden meal, 7.8(140).
3) before exercising, looking for 6.7(120).
4) before bed, 5.7(103), if lower I adjust, I hate hypos 3.9(70).

I am half Japanese and a recovering rice-aholic, I ate rice 2-3 meals a day my whole life. Now I have 1 tablespoon 2x a month. Baby steps.

Most of my meals look like stir-fry, eggs, soup, salads, or some combination of the above. Baby steps.

The Japanese medical mindset says get to the source of the problem and correct it, don't just treat symptoms with medications. Baby steps.

I plate my food before eating on a 7 inch plate --- portion control. The Japanese say 1/2 plate of very low carb vegetables, 1/4 plate of protein, 1/4 plate 1 serving of high fiber whole grain carb or 1 serving of carb friendly whole fruit. Baby steps.

The Japanese say to eat in this specific order. First 2 bites vegetables, eat slowly and savor each bite. Next protein, next carb. Repeat this order till done. The Japanese surmise that your digestion rate is set by the first 2-3 bites it sees. So digestion is slower flattening the glucose spike. Baby steps.

The Japanese also say to walk 10-15 minutes immediately after eating, redirecting blood from digestion to muscles slowing digestion, flattening the glucose spike. Baby steps.

Glucose spikes are the enemy and lead to many complications associated with diabetes. Such as neuropathy, retinopathy, kidney disease, heart disease, blindness, brain damage, etc.

Some of my go to very low carb vegetables are cruciferous - cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, bok Choi, brussel sprouts, napa cabbage, Chinese cabbage, kale, etc. - and cucumbers, egg plant, zucchini, summer squash, some spaghetti squash, green beans, snow peas, sugar snap peas, mushrooms, tomatoes, carrots, parsnips, radishes, beets, turnips, rutabaga, asparagus, greens of all types including spinach, lettuces, collards, turnip greens, radish greens, poke weed, etc, young fiddlehead ferns, celery, green onions, leeks, chives, onions, garlic, parsley, mints, dandelion greens, endive, watercress, gourmet greens, ginger, cilantro, basil, some flower pedals like mints, pansies, chamomile and squash blossoms. I eat avocado too, it is 1 net carb per serving. Baby steps.

Beat down your diabetes monster one baby step at a time. I can do baby steps. I wish for you more good days than bad and have many exceptional days too.

Be the Samurai Warrior you never knew you were.
You got this.
Never give up, never surrender, never ever.

It's going to be hard for someone to here to give you a weekly menu. Everyone is different. Some have multiple diagnoses. The best thing to do is count carbs and test 2 hours after you eat.
