6 Easy Steps to Create a Diabetic Meal Plate

Since the American Diabetes Association no longer uses the food pyramid but instead uses the plate method, here are the six steps in creating your meal plate.

Using your dinner plate:

1. Put a line down the middle of the plate.

2. Then on one side, cut it again so you will have 3 sections on your plate.

3.  Fill the largest section with non-starchy vegetables.

4.  Now in one of the small sections put starchy foods.

5.  And then on the other small section, put your meat or meat substitutes.

6.  Add an 8 oz glass of non-fat or low-fat milk. If you don’t drink milk, you can add another small serving of carb such as a 6 oz. container of light yogurt or a small roll.
