What would be one week’s menu for a diabetic man?
I really need a week’s menu for this its for my foods class any help would be GREATLY appreciated
I think it depends on the diabetic and the type of food. I wouldn’t stress too much about it because it will take some detailed food journals and many many many blood test. eventually you will find what works best for you, everybody has their own unique blood chemistry.
My sugars have been within the normal range for the last 2 years w/o medication. I can eat almost anything except: pasta, ice cream… which both cause a spike in my sugars for ~2 days. For the most part everything else in moderation works well for me, but for some reason it doesn’t matter how little I eat of those two foods they still effects my sugar negatively. (It sucked because I used to eat these all the time… 1 gallon of icecream/week and pasta 2-3/week)
What allows me to be normal:
Lost 35 pounds and now I work out 90 minutes a day 5 times a week and I am in very good shape.
Exercise and weight loss if possible are the real cure. Diet is also important, but only one aspect.

Diabetics can eat pretty much anything. They count carrbohydrates and compensate with their medication. Most type 2 diabetics restrict their carb intake, but the amount varies greatly based on the patient’s medication regimen. Carbs are not completely eliminated because the body needs that for fuel.
