Planning diabetes-friendly meals for the whole family doesn’t have to mean cooking separate dishes or making food that only one person enjoys. In fact, some of the best approaches to blood sugar management are built around balanced, nourishing meals that benefit everyone at the table. 

Meals should combine:
* Lean protein (chicken, salmon, turkey, tofu, lean beef, lean pork, etc)
* Fiber-rich carbohydrates (vegetables, beans, whole grains, fruit, etc)
* Healthy fats (olive oil, nuts, seeds, avocado, etc.)
This combination slows digestion and can help prevent unwanted blood sugar spikes.

Here’s 9 of my favorite crowd pleasing, blood sugar friendly recipes:
1. Healthy Baked Chicken Fajita Casserole
2. Creamy High Protein Butternut Squash Pasta with Chicken
3. Harvest Sheet Pan Dinner (Chicken Apple Sausage, Butternut, Brussels Sprouts, Pecans)
4. 30 Minute Chicken Noodle Veggie Soup
5. Healthy Ground Turkey Sloppy Joes with Veggies
6. Gluten Free Chicken Pot Pie
7. Easy Sheet Pan Steak Fajitas
8. Artichoke Lemon Pesto Chickpea Pasta
9. High Protein Turkey Chili

Spring and summer mean warmer temps and that means we have to be a little more careful when we’re traveling with or bringing insulin or other medications with us!

In general:
Unopened vials and pens can be stored in the refrigerator until their expiration date.

Open vials can be stored in the fridge or at room temp (under 86 degrees F) for up to 30 days after being opened.

Opened pens should be stored at room temp (59-86 degrees F) for up to 30 days after being opened.

Always read the manufacturers instructions with each type of medication you take. These are general guidelines and there will be slight variances based on type of medication and the brand used.

If you’re looking for a healthier appetizer or satisfying snack, this high protein low carb buffalo chicken dip delivers big flavor! Creamy, cheesy, and packed with lean protein, this recipe is especially helpful for people managing diabetes who want to enjoy comfort food while supporting stable blood sugar levels.
Unlike classic buffalo chicken dip recipes that rely heavily on cream cheese and full-fat dressings, this lighter version uses simple ingredient swaps to boost nutrition without sacrificing taste or texture.

Can coffee raise your blood sugars?

The short answer: Yes, coffee can raise your blood sugar.

The more nuanced, longer answer: Coffee may raise blood sugar levels for some people but not for others. And, it’s likely not the coffee itself causing your blood sugar to rise. It’s the caffeine and what you eat while drinking it.

Yes! Just like most other foods, people with diabetes can eat sweet potatoes. But, because they are higher in carbohydrate than other vegetables, enjoying them without a blood sugar spike can often require a little more planning and thinking ahead.

If you’re trying to manage blood sugar, protein can be one of your biggest tools… but it does NOT have to be expensive.

Some of the most effective foods for more stable numbers are basic, affordable staples 👏

Protein helps slow digestion, keeps you full longer, and supports steadier post-meal blood sugar levels … especially when paired with fiber-rich carbs.

Here are a few of my favorite high-protein grocery staples under $5:�• Cottage cheese or ricotta cheese�• Plain Greek yogurt�• Canned tuna or salmon�• Eggs�• Unsweetened peanut butter�• Beans

When you’re making desserts at home and want them to be more blood sugar friendly, it’s not always about adjusting the sugar… In fact, the first change I’m going to make in a recipe usually has nothing to do with how much sugar I’m adding to it. I prefer to look at our primary source of carbohydrate… which is usually flour (when it comes to baked goods). I use equal parts, almond flour and ground up oats instead of all purpose flour. This doesn’t change the calorie content, but dramatically changes the macronutrient distribution in favor of a more blood sugar friendly nutrition profile.
