If not, adjust your plan with help from your doctor and diabetes educators. Though your cafeteria must match federal government nutrition guidelines, the food it dishes up can vary a lot. Other lunchrooms rotate their menu. You'll spot the same foods served every third week, for example. Then the next day you see a sub roll stuffed with tuna fish, and macaroni and cheese.
Many cafeterias always stock salad, rolls and fresh fruit.
The upside of getting in line is you don't have to tote food around or bother fixing it at home. Best yet, it matches your meal plan. Food Trading Tactics Don't feel that because you have diabetes you should just watch the food trades back and forth in front of your nose. When the school year starts, check out who brings the tasty and healthy goods. Grab a seat near them.
