DIABETIC WORKSHEETS

The nutritional management of diabetes guides the person with diabetes in making appropriate
food choices and behavioral changes that will result in improved glucose levels, improved
nutritional status and self management of diabetes. Diabetic diets are intended for individuals
with abnormal glucose levels due to insulin resistance or the lack of insulin. Medical nutrition
therapy approaches to the dietary management of diabetes include diabetic meal patterns and
carbohydrate counting. The goal of the following worksheets is to assist the dietetic intern in
gaining a better understanding of these dietary approaches.

DIET PLANNING WITH THE EXCHANGE SYSTEM:
Fill in the number of servings that you would recommend from each food group for each calorie
level. Use the following guidelines to calculate the following meal patterns:
(1) Determine caloric needs based on usual eating habits, medications, medical condition(s),
and activity level.
(2) Distribute calories as follows: Carbohydrate (g) = 50-60% total calories, 4 kcal/g,
Protein
(g) = 10-20% total calories, 4 kcal/g; Fat (g) = 25-30% total calories, 9 kcal/g.
(3) Convert carbohydrate, protein and fat into exchanges according to individual
preferences.
(4) Distribute exchanges into meals and snacks according to medication and lifestyle.
