Managing your diabetes appropriately means that you have to make sure you eat your foods in the proper portions. One means of managing your portions is to divide your plate into four sections. Make an imaginary X over your plate and in each section place a serving from each food group (Protein, Grain, Vegetable, Fruit).
Generally a serving is as follows:
Protein: 3 ounce slice of meat , fish, or poultry. (This is about the size of a deck of cards)
Vegetable: 1/2 cup
Fruit: 1/2 cup
Grain: 1 ounce or 1 slice bread, 1 tortilla, 1 small dinner roll
Starches: 1/4 cup potatoes or rice
EVERYTHING I EAT TODAY AFFECTS MY HEALTH TODAY!
