Dear lamareb- I am so glad you have found the dLife website. I think you will enjoy and really enhance your knowledge about diabetes through this site.

The DTOUOR diet was recently written up in Prevention magazine. It is basically a similar meal plan recommended by ADA when you are planning your meals. It focuses on the following:

  • consistent predictable meals
  • high fiber foods
  • portion control
  • incorporating activity
  • incorporating a healthy attitude

    When looking at this list it really is taking components of the 7 Self Care Behaviors and the Healthy Eating habits sited in the dLIfe website.

    The Healthy eating reference will help you put good habits into your life for long range behaviors you can use. There isn't a quick fix but there are great healthy meal plan suggestions that you will find to self manage your eating. Do well and enjoy exploring the website.
