Carb Control Menu

Breakfast | Lunch & Dinner | Special Diet Information

In both diabetes mellitus Type 1 and 2, the pancreas is inefficient or unable to produce enough insulin to help maintain blood sugar control. The diet for diabetes focuses on maintaining consistent amounts or servings of carbohydrate containing foods at each meal to help promote normal blood sugar levels. Carbohydrates are found in the following: the grain group (bread/pasta/starchy vegetables/beans, fruit group (fresh/canned/dried/juices), dairy group (milk/yogurt) and sweets/desserts.

• A well-balanced diet can also assist in blood sugar control. Consume meals containing protein, carbohydrate and unsaturated fat (olive oil and canola oil).
• A serving of carbohydrate has 15 grams of carbohydrate. When meal planning, most adults will have between 3 to 5 servings of carbohydrates.
• Utilize the food label to help determine the number of carbohydrates that a particular food item contains. Read the carbohydrates listed beside "Total Carbohydrates" as sugar is included in this number.
• Make sure to include fiber in your daily diet as this has been shown to have a positive effect on good blood sugar control.
