Meal Planning To Right Or Create Your Plate

Healthy eating is an essential treatment for blood sugar control.  Contrary to popular belief, there is no diabetic diet.  People with diabetes are encouraged to eat healthy meals with a combination of foods from all food groups.  Many meal plans are available to assist people with diabetes to plan healthy meals.  Do you find carbohydrate counting to difficult?  Are you unsure of how to stick to a healthy meal plan when eating out and away from home?  One of the most simple ways to stick to a healthy meal is to use the plate method to "right" or "create" your plate.  The following video from the American Diabetes Association demonstrates an easy way to structure your foods on your plate so that you can enjoy a healthy, nutritious meal without worrying about counting carbs, remembering the glycemic index of foods, or remembering service sizes for food exchanges.
