Think you need to give up the
foods you love to keep your
blood glucose on track? We’ve
got delicious news for you!
this is eating well with diabetes
You don’t have to choose between nutrition and
flavor. Instead, imagine you’re on a quest to find
foods you love—that also happen to fit into your
smart-eating goals. Where to start?
call a truce with bread and pasta.
With type 2 diabetes, you don’t want to cut out
carbs completely­—grains, fruits, and veggies
offer many nutrients! Just balance these foods
throughout the day. Work with your health-care
provider to find the right amount of carbs for
you. Our recipes include nutritional information
to make tracking carbs easy.
drop the “diet” mind-set.
While it’s true that people with diabetes need
to balance carbs, many of the nutritional goals
for people with diabetes are the same as for
anyone who wants to be healthy. Your aim is
a diet that’s:
• low in saturated and trans fats
• moderate in added sugars and sodium
• focused on a balanced diet, with whole grains,
fruits, vegetables, and low-fat or fat-free dairy.
Protein sources should be lean or contain
“good” fats (think fish, beans, nuts, and lean
meats); keep portions in check. (The at-a-glance
portion guide at GoodEatingGoodLiving.com
can help!) So share our recipes with friends and
family—they’re good eating for everyone!
go ahead … have a little dessert.
Sugar is just one type of carb. It’s total carb
count—not just sugars—that will have the most
impact on your blood glucose levels. It’s okay to
eat a small dish of ice cream on occasion—just
count it as part of your total carb allowance.
The trick is to make sure sugar-containing
sweet treats don’t regularly take up carbs
(and calories) that should be reserved for more
nutritious foods.
make simple changes that add up.
Most people don’t need to completely overhaul
what they’re used to eating. Small changes can
have big nutritional benefits. A few to try:
• Look for light or fat-free salad dressing,
mayonnaise, and sour cream.
• Enjoy CRYSTAL LIGHT Drink Mix or KOOLAID Sugar Free Low Calorie Soft Drink Mix
instead of your usual sweetened tea, lemonade,
or punch. On-the-go versions help you take your
refreshment to work, restaurants, and more—
just stir a packet into ice water or a water bottle.
• Try eating an All American Flame Grilled
BOCA Burger on occasion instead of the
usual ground beef burger patty.

Spending time in a gym isn’t the only way to give your
body a boost! Every move you make, every day, adds up.
it’s time to redefine
How will you choose to move today? Here are
five easy ways to think about exercise.
put one foot in front of the other.
Walking is low-impact and easy to do—on your
lunch break, after dinner, on vacation. Try to
take more steps tomorrow than you did today,
or walk for more minutes.
have fun with friends and family.
Walking a dog, biking with your spouse, and
playing tennis with a pal are great cardio moves.
give stress the boot.
All kinds of exercise can ease tension, but some
have de-stressing at their core, including Pilates,
yoga, and tai chi. You can also try an activity that
makes you focus on the here-and-now (and not
on your to-do list), such as dancing.

exercise
shape up your home.
Regular chores—from sprucing up the house to
weeding the garden—burn calories, too. So do
home-improvement projects like painting.
take care of the Earth.
Walk to the drugstore instead of driving. Use
old-fashioned pruners instead of an electric
hedge trimmer to shape your shrubs. These
kind of activities are good for the planet—and
your body, too.
Whatever you choose to do, toast your efforts
with your favorite flavor of CRYSTAL LIGHT
Pure Fitness On the Go Drink Mix—a naturally
sweetened, low-calorie fitness drink with
electrolytes to aid hydration.* Then take a
moment to celebrate how good you feel!
Ways to sneak

Regular, sustained
exercise can reduce
blood glucose, burn
fat, and support
heart health. Just
check with your
doctor before
getting started.
And keep tabs on
your blood glucose
levels before,
during, and after
exercise.

My food journal
My blood glucose log
during the visit
Important things to talk about:
besides my doctor, who can help?
Check with your doctor and insurance provider
about getting help with meal planning from a
registered dietitian or medication assistance from
a registered pharmacist. Podiatrists, optometrists,
and exercise physiologists can also help you live
well with diabetes. Look for professionals with a
certified diabetes educator (CDE) credential.
do I need to log my levels every day?
Logging gives you indications about why your
numbers are low or high. It also helps ease
anxiety over a poor reading. Instead of feeling
bad, applaud yourself for learning how to
improve. Include the date and time, blood-check
results, diet, activity, and medication. Also note

any illnesses or stress. Talk to your doctor or a
CDE about what targets are right for you.
can stress affect my diabetes?
When facing stress, our schedules get juggled.
We don’t get enough sleep. We forget to
exercise. Maybe we drink or eat a bit more.
All of these factors can affect blood glucose
levels. Even if you’re able to keep your
lifestyle chugging along smoothly, stress can
still disrupt your body’s engine in ways you
might not realize. In fact, research shows that
stress causes blood glucose levels to jump
significantly. To find calm, go for a walk, listen
to music, or call a friend to talk.
