Preview 15 Delicious Diabetes-Friendly Dinner Ideas
Dinnertime is different when you’re living with type 2 diabetes. Specifically, strategies
like portion control and carbohydrate counting are crucial to keep in mind to manage
weight and lower your A1C — your average blood sugar level over two to three months.
Also worth considering is nutrition, which everyone can benefit from.
“My general recommendation is to aim for a balance of nutrients at meals,” says Amy
Kimberlain, RD, a certified diabetes care and education specialist (CDCES) and
spokesperson for Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics in Miami. She suggests making
carbs a quarter of your plate, lean protein another quarter, and nonstarchy veggies the
last half. “Having a balanced plate not only helps in the management of one’s blood
sugar levels, but also helps to keep you fuller longer,” Kimberlain notes.
But that doesn’t mean you have to sacrifice flavor. When you have a family to feed, you
won’t want to.
These 15 diabetes-friendly recipes are balanced and tasty enough for anyone —
regardless of whether they have diabetes — to enjoy.
