When it comes to carbohydrate

requirements, it is a very

individualised aspect of diabetes

management, and there is no one-

size-fits-all approach. We recommend

you see an Accredited Practising

Dietitian to get tailored advice on how

to best manage your diabetes, blood

glucose levels and carb quantities.

In this issue of DL we have made

a mix of delicious lower-carb

meals and snacks, but if these are

too low in carbs to meet your

requirements, here are some tips

to boost the carb quantity:

• Add 1-2 slices of wholegrain
  bread to your meal.


• Add a serve of fruit to your
  meal or snack.


• Throw in legumes such as
  red kidney beans, lentils or
  chickpeas to salads and soups.


• Boost your vegie serves
  with additional potato,
  sweet potato or corn.


• Serve main meals with a side
  of steamed brown rice, quinoa
  or boiled wholemeal pasta.


• Finish your meal with a
  small glass of skim milk or
  a small tub of yoghurt. ■
