I’m ne to the club and I want to find out if there are any considerations for diabetics when creationg the menus.
The whole system is designed to be good for diabetics and pre-diabetics. The menus are quite low in carbs, and are based on balancing blood sugar and insulin levels.

Kudos TDC! I have only started replacing our old groceries with healthier, organic ones and I have tried some of the recipes. My glucose levels are already lower and stable. I can’t wait to get into full swing with the meal planner.
What if you are on coumadin; how do you treat that condition with all of the usage of vegetables? I’m not only diabetic *(2) but also have problems with blood clots so I am on the coumadin to thin my blood.
I also am just starting with my diabetic diet to limit my carbohydrates to 200 per day as my doctor has prescribed. I do not take insulin as yet, but test my glucose twice daily. I would like help with knowing how many carbs each meal I plan have. Can someone help me?
Hi, Gwin. The beauty of the Menu Planner is that you can choose and avoid whatever you want. The thing about coumadin is that you can either choose to avoid foods high in vitamin K as long as you are on it, or you can just make sure that you have a steady intake of vitamin K so the doctor can manage your drug dose. The following is a link to a guide http://healthcare.utah.edu/thrombosis/patients/warfarin/WarfarinGuide_vitaminK.pdf
Hi, Carmen. Most of the menus for women turn out to be about 200 gm of carbohydrates (<45% of energy). If you want to be sure about each meal please post your height, weight, weight goal (loss or maintenance), and I will give you a basic outline of your menu plan pattern.
I’m diabetic. My height is 5’8″, weight is 220lbs. Can you help me with a basic diabetic meal plan? Thanks.
I am a new member. I am 6’2” and 228lbs.
I am a type II diabetic.I use 20 units of Humalog before meals and 30 units of Lantus before going to bed.
What foods of those in the shopping list can I use and in what quantities.Hi, macabeo, and welcome. In the Menu Planner, choose from the foods in the lighter blue (healthier), pay attention to carbohydrates labeled “SWG” (sprouted whole grain) or 100% whole, and choose the leanest meats or vegan substitutes. You will see that most meals provide only about 45 grams of available carbs, and overall, only about 45% of energy is from carbs.
Hi, jborm1. See my response to macabeo below. The principles of the program and planner are based on diabetes health, so you should be fine. If you see something that worries you in your weekly menu, re-post here.
I am a new member and I am a diabetic with a fatty liver. I need help on what to eat and lose weight. I have high blood pressure.
