Meal prepping is a great tool for people managing diabetes. It helps you stay on track with your healthy eating plan, even when life gets busy.

You’ll find two types of vegetables at the store: starchy vegetables (like peas, potatoes, and corn) and non-starchy vegetables (like broccoli, eggplant, and peppers).
