There is no shortage of nutrition advice for people with diabetes. From the internet, friends, family, health care providers and even celebrities—everyone has advice on what to eat to be healthy. But what’s usually missing from the conversation is how. Even if science managed to figure out the “perfect diet” for all humans, that doesn’t mean we would all start eating that way overnight. Why? Because what we choose to eat is influenced by a ton of factors. During National Nutrition Month, we asked people what factors influence their food choices. Here, we examine the results and discuss why eating healthy is so complicated.
Casseroles are a family staple—an easy, one-pot dish that can be made ahead of time and go straight from oven to kitchen table.

Carb counting is a meal-planning method that can help people with diabetes manage their blood glucose levels. If you have prediabetes or type 2 diabetes, carb counting can help you manage your blood glucose level and feel your best, whether or not you take any diabetes medications. If you have type 1 diabetes, carb counting can help you match your mealtime insulin dosage to the amount of carbs you are eating. Overall, carb counting can be a great tool, but it may not be for everyone. It takes a lot of work to find out how many carbs are in different foods, and you have to be diligent in keeping track of what you’re eating and adding up the carbs. Read on to learn more about what carb counting is and whether or not it’s right for you.
