Diabetes-savvy menu plans are designed for both the person with diabetes as well as anyone considered “prediabetic” and working to prevent the diagnosis. Each daily menu consists of no more than 50% of its calories from carbohydrate. Each meal and snack includes a mix of nutrients to insure a slower rise of blood glucose after eating. When possible, concentrated carbohydrates like juice, sweets, sodas and desserts, were eliminated from the plans.
