Question
Search for a credited source and use it to help create a 1 day menu for a patient with Diabetes Mellitus. This meal plan must be between 1800-2200 calories and include a minimum of 3 complete meals and 2 snacks. You must list out the calories for each food item and the total carbohydrates consumed. Take into consideration the amount of carbohydrates of the foods you are choosing while keeping other nutrients in balance as well. Your goal should be limiting your total carbohydrate intake to 45-65% of the total calories for the day. It is important to find a balance so that your patient is not running the risk of either hyperglycemia or hypoglycemia. Choose simple meals made of whole foods or/and simple ingredients. Have your patient's best interest in mind! You must total the calories, carbohydrates in grams, and the percentage of carbohydrates at the bottom of your meal plan.
