Every time you eat foods like dry cereal, hot cereal, pasta, or rice, use the same type of bowl or plate. Measure the correct serving with a measuring tool. When you eat the food again, fill the bowl to the same level. Use a measuring tool to measure foods once in a while to make sure your servings are still correct. Fill out your own starch servings schedule.
Vegetables are in the next level of the food pyramid.
Ask your diabetes teacher how much and how often to eat them. Also ask the healthiest ways to eat them. Remember, you might need more than one serving at a meal. If you need two servings, eat double the amount or eat one serving each of two vegetables. If you buy fresh vegetables, buy the vegetables you like in the serving size you should eat.
