NutriSystem® Nourish™ Programs: For Type II Diabetic Program

NutriSystem® Nourish™
Type II Diabetic Program

If you’re one of the 21 million Americans who has Type 2 Diabetes, you know that it’s critical for you to manage your blood sugar and insulin levels.

When you don’t manage your blood sugar, it builds up in your blood stream. This can lead to complications with:

• Heart disease (cardiovascular disease),

• Blindness (retinopathy)

• Nerve damage (neuropathy)

• Kidney damage (nephropathy)

You need to avoid sugar and eat foods that don’t spike your blood sugar. The Glycemic Index (GI) is a measure of how quickly foods spike your blood sugar. It’s best to stick with foods that are low to moderate GI. Protein is low GI, and it acts as a control rod for insulin. Every diabetic should include protein as 25% of their diet.

The problem is that protein is expensive and it takes time to cook. For those reasons, protein powder is an ideal solution. But even protein powders are loaded with sugar fillers these days.

This plan gives you a simple approach to weight loss while managing your Type II Diabetes.

The NutriSystem Diabetic Program is an easy-to-follow diet that is a healthy way of eating for people with Type II Diabetes. It's a complete diabetic meal plan that lets you easily control your calorie and carbohydrate intake to promote safe weight loss. It features more than 70 prepackaged NutriSystem® Nourish™ meals and desserts (see complete list below) that you choose online (or on the phone), and that arrive on your doorstep, all ready to go.

All of our foods feature low Glycemic Index carbohydrates to help maintain normal glucose levels, and each one fits into a simple meal plan that is dietitian-approved. You just grab an entrée, add-in a few grocery items (like fresh fruits, vegetables, salads and dairy items), and you're ready to go. In fact, all of the NutriSystem Nourish foods are either ready to eat immediately, or prepare in just a couple of minutes in the microwave or by adding a little hot water. And you eat five times a day (meals and snacks about every 3-4 hours or so) to help reduce cravings between meals.

Reaching a healthy weight is one of the most important things you can do to help your diabetes, and we want to make it as simple as possible. Since all of the meals provide the correct portion of food, there is no weighing, measuring or counting calories and points. Plus, you can always call or email our counselors, nutritionists and dietitians for FREE without ever going to a meeting!
