If you have type 2 diabetes, meal prepping can help you manage your blood sugar levels and stick to a healthy diet. Here are some tips to get started:
1. Choose healthy foods: focus on lean protein, vegetables, whole grains, and healthy fats.
2. Plan ahead: make sure to have all the ingredients you need on hand so that you can easily make healthy meals throughout the week.
3. Be portion-conscious: portion out your food in advance so that you're not overeating or consuming too many sugary or high-fat foods.
4. Keep it simple: start with basic recipes and then build up from there as you get more comfortable with meal prepping.
5. Make it fun: find ways to enjoy the process of meal prepping, such as listening to music or watching TV while you cook.

My husband takes care of that. He knows a lot about nutrition.

question for you: do you think creating low sugar / low carb donuts at home would work? I am just curious because my wife makes for me and I find it a great to manage cravings...


good luck...
