Type 2 diabetes and prediabetes

With adults diagnosed with type 2 diabetes or prediabetes, we build a meal pattern that fits the treatment your doctor recommends. Instead of banning carbohydrates we plan their amount, timing and companions.

Type 2 diabetes and prediabetes

In diabetes the meal plan works together with the medicines that regulate blood sugar. So at the first visit we talk not only about what you eat, but when you take your medication, when you get hungry and what trends your meter shows.

Carbohydrate counting

Carbohydrate counting means learning to estimate the carbohydrate in a meal in grams or exchanges. For insulin users it can be the basis for dosing; for others it is a practical way to spread carbohydrate evenly across meals. We work with household measures.

In prediabetes

Values in the prediabetes range are a warning to be followed with lifestyle changes. Activity, sleep and meal pattern are handled together, with goals agreed with your doctor.

Who is it for?

  • Adults with type 2 diabetes on medication or insulin
  • People whose values fell in the prediabetes range
  • Women followed up after gestational diabetes
  • Anyone whose meal pattern changes with Ramadan, shift work or travel

  1. 1Can I eat fruit with diabetes?

    For most people, yes; amount, timing and what you eat it with matter. Whole fruit is preferred to juice. We set your personal amount in the plan.
