People who have developed diabetes wanted to learn the right way of making diabetic menu planning, to help them manage their condition. If you’re a diabetic, make sure that you adopt a special diet that is suited to your condition to prevent the complications of the disease. In this article, we have prepared some a 1 day sample of a diabetic meal plan that have 1, 600 calories and only contain 225 grams of carbohydrates. While following these diets, always remember to re-hydrate yourself regularly, and drink at least 16-ounce of water after each meal to maintain the hydration of your body. 1-Day Diabetes Diet Program Below we had made a “1-day’ sample of a diabetic menu plan to give you an idea about the “ideal” way of making your healthy diabetic menu plan so if you’re ready, here it is. • Breakfast (360 calories of healthy carbohydrates) * 1 piece of toasted "wheat" bread together with 1 teaspoon "non-fat" butterrn* 1/4 cup of medium-sized eggrn* 1/2 cup of oatmealrn* 1/2 cup skim milkrn* 1/2 regular-sized banana • Lunch (535 calories of healthy carbohydrates) * 1 cup of organic vegetable soup, along with 4-6 crackersrn* 1 chicken sandwich (2 slices of whole-wheat bread, 1 ounce chicken and 1 ounce non-fat cheese, 1 teaspoon of mayonnaise) * 1 regular-size apple • Dinner (635 calories of healthy carbohydrates) * 4 oz. broiled chicken with oregano and basil sprinkled at the toprn* 2/3 cup of cooked "brown" ricern* 1/2 cup of half-cooked carrotsrn* 1 small whole-grain dinner roll, and 1 teaspoon butterrn* Tossed salad having 2 tablespoons of low-fat salad dressingrn* 4 "unsweetened" apricot halves, or if you want you can substitute it with 1 slice of angel food-cake. • Snacks (Each of the snacks listed below contains 60 calories of healthy carbohydrate.

The menu that we have provided above is only a “sample” menu to give you a head-start when you plan to do your diabetic menu planning. However, we still encourage you to ask the permission of your doctor or nutritionist for you to have the exact and accurate diabetic diet meals that will help you in managing your condition. Additional Tips: If you’re making your own diabetic menu plan, stay away from simple sugars like candies, sweet desserts, processed sweetened fruits and some other foods that are made from refined sugar. You should stay as well in foods that contain a high amount of fats, especially foods with “saturated” fats.
