Determining what, how much and when you eat foods, especially foods that contain carbohydrates, is important for managing Type 2 diabetes. Yet, there’s no single “diabetic diet” that’s right for everyone.
The graphic below can help! Use this as a visual guide to get started with what to put on your plate. Work with your healthcare team to learn how much and when to eat foods that will support your specific needs.
Fill half of your plate with non-starchy vegetables, one quarter of your plate with protein foods and one quarter of your plate with grains or starchy vegetables. One serving of fruit, milk or yogurt may also be added to a meal.
* Beans and lentils are sometimes counted as starchy vegetables. Refer to the FAQ “Are beans and lentils starchy veggies or protein foods?” for more information.
**Choose whole grains more often than refined grains.
