Educational note: These diabetes-conscious sample menus are general nutrition education, not medical advice, a treatment or a cure, and not calculated carbohydrate prescriptions. “No sugar” means no added sugar; vegetables, berries, nuts and seeds still contain natural carbohydrate. If you take insulin or a sulfonylurea, lowering carbohydrates can cause low blood sugar, so talk with your care team before changing how you eat. Pregnancy, kidney disease, pancreatitis and other conditions need individualized advice from your doctor or a registered dietitian.
