Seven-day diabetes meal plan


Managing blood sugar levels is key to living well with diabetes and avoiding some of its complications. Maintaining a healthful diet can help.

Following a diabetes meal plan can help make sure that a person is getting their daily nutritional needs. It can also ensure variety and help a person lose weight, if necessary.
In addition, a diabetes meal plan can help an individual keep track of carbs and calories and make healthful eating more interesting by introducing some new ideas to the diet.

Planning meals in advance is a good way to ensure that people managing diabetes eat a balanced and nutritious diet.

Factors that affect dietary choices for people with diabetes include:
  • balancing carbohydrate intake with activity levels and the use of insulin and other medications
  • consuming plenty of fiber to help manage blood sugar levels and reduce the risk of high cholesterol, weight gain, cardiovascular disease, and other health issues
  • limiting processed carbohydrates and foods with added sugars — such as candies, cookies, and sodas — which are more likely to cause a sugar spike than whole grains and vegetables, for example
  • understanding how dietary choices can impact the complications of diabetes, for example, the fact that salt increases the risk of high blood pressure
  • managing weight, as this can help a person manage the development of diabetes and its complications
  • taking into account individual treatment plans, which will contain recommendations from a doctor or dietitian
