ADA’s Food & Nutrition Philosophy
At the ADA we believe that informed food choices are essential to preventing and living well with diabetes.
Food choices should be personalized, accessible, shaped through the lens of culture and community, and guided by national standards and recommendations for health and wellness.
Our Recipes
Our recipes strive to provide better-for-you options for people with prediabetes or diabetes. This includes a variety of ingredients and nutrition as we take an entire day’s nutrition into consideration.
We:
- Create flexible options to help support people’s personal preferences when possible.
- Provide the nutrition facts for each recipe so you can find the ones that support your health goals.
- Encourage creativity in the kitchen. Feel free to swap out ingredients, especially carbs and sugars.
Recipes provided by the ADA are designed to help people with prediabetes and diabetes make informed choices for their own meal planning and preparation. It is important to always practice routine blood glucose (blood sugar) monitoring when adding new foods and recipes to your eating plan to account for individual response or variations in ingredients. People with additional medical conditions or dietary restrictions should follow the recommendation of the professionals on their health care team when making choices about foods that fit into their specific eating pattern.
