Meal Plan For Prediabetes and Diabetes

A common question asked by people with prediabetes and diabetes is “what foods should I eat?”

I love this question. Nutrition therapy is an integral part of treatment and self-management for diabetes and prediabetes. It can help maintain or improve quality of life, and metabolic health. Plus, it can help prevent and treat acute and long term complications of diabetes. In fact, nutrition therapy can reduce A1c by 1.0% to 2.0%.

The take away? Food is a key part of the management of diabetes and reducing the risk of heart attack and stroke. 

So what can you do? Prepare meals at home using fresh and unprocessed ingredients. Easy.

Not quite…

Nutrition therapy is not simply “eat less carbohydrates” or “eat better foods.” Rather it is understanding how food plays a role in our cultural, religious, and personal traditions, and developing a lifestyle plan that complements you, not just the goals of your healthcare provider.

To help people find success with nutrition and dietary treatments for prediabetes and diabetes, I meet with all new patients for 60 minutes to understand who you are and then develop a personalized meal plan with all the tools for success. This includes grocery lists, meal prep guide, and cooking instructions. Meals are tailored to your dietary pattern, such as keto, DASH, Mediterranean, and plant-based.
