      Nutrition: The Big Picture

      TYPE 1 & TYPE 2

      How do I know when I should see a registered dietitian?

      See a registered dietitian (RD) when your diabetes is first diagnosed, when a new doctor changes your treatment plan, or twice a year for a routine review of your meal plan and goals. See the RD more often if

      You want to improve your diabetes management.

      Your have a lifestyle or schedule change, such as a new job, marriage, or pregnancy.

      Your nutritional needs keep changing (children).

      You’ve begun an exercise program or had a change in diabetes medication.

      You feel bored, frustrated, or unmotivated to use your meal plan.

      You have unexplained high and low blood glucose levels.

      You’re concerned about your weight or blood fat levels.

      You develop nutrition-related complications, such as high blood pressure or kidney disease.

      You may have an RD on your diabetes team. Ask your doctor or hospital for a referral. You can also call the American Diabetes Association (800-342-2383), the American Dietetic Association (800-877-1600), or the American Association of Diabetes Educators (800-338-3633) for referrals. Many RDs are certified diabetes educators (CDEs) and have additional training in diabetes care.

      TYPE 1 & TYPE 2

      What should I eat until I can meet with the registered dietitian?

      Eat the foods that are healthy for everyone—grains, beans, vegetables, fruits, low-fat milk, and meat. Cut down on foods and drinks with a lot of added sugar (soda, desserts, candy) and fat (fried foods, lunch meats, gravy, salad dressings). You do not need special or diet foods.

      It is important to eat about the same amount of food at the same time each day. Don’t eat one or two large meals. Try to eat at least three small meals each day, especially if you are taking diabetes medication. You may need a snack between meals and before you go to bed. Avoid drinking alcohol until you learn how it fits into your diabetes treatment plan. Remember, you can make a big difference in your diabetes management through what you choose to eat. Before you see the RD, keep a record of everything you eat and drink for 3–5 days and bring this record to your appointment. This will help the RD personalize the meal plan for you.

      TYPE 1 & TYPE 2

      How often do I need to eat to keep my blood glucose levels near normal?

      This depends on the type of diabetes you have, your medications, the amount of physical activity you get, and where your blood glucose level is at the moment. An RD can help you decide.

      For people with type 1 or people with type 2 who use insulin: Have food in your system when your insulin is peaking. You may need three meals and an evening snack. If you take two injections of short-and intermediate-acting insulin, you may need three meals and three snacks. If you use rapid-acting insulin, eat within 15 minutes of taking your insulin. You may need a snack for physical activity (see Do I need a snack when I exercise?). A common mistake is not waiting a half hour to eat after taking regular insulin. If you start eating before insulin activity is peaking, you may have higher blood glucose levels after meals.

      For people with type 2: Eat a small meal every 2–3 hours. When you eat smaller amounts of food, your blood glucose levels are lower after eating. Mini-meals spread throughout the day may help control your hunger and calorie intake, leading to near-normal blood glucose levels and weight loss. Your blood cholesterol levels will also be lower.
