November is American Diabetes Month. Did you know that more than 37 million Americans are living with diabetes? This month, regardless of whether you are diabetic, pre-diabetic, or want to live well, simplify your healthy eating by following the diabetes plate for meal planning. The diabetes plate is a low-carb meal pattern that helps you portion your plate and support your diabetes management. Start with a nine-inch plate and fill half with non-starchy veggies, one-quarter with lean proteins, and one-quarter with quality carbs like starchy vegetables, fruits, whole grains, or low-fat dairy.
