Diabetes diet guide for people that have access to a microwave and grill​

Managing Type 2 Diabetes For People That Have Access To A Microwave And Grill

We understand it can be difficult to prioritise Type 2 diabetes when you do not have access to a permanent kitchen.
​
This guide is designed to provide some basic dietary tips to help you manage your Type 2 diabetes if you are not in stable accommodation but do have access to a microwave, fridge and grill.

The key is not having too much sugar or carbohydrates in your meal at any one time
  • Try using sweeteners or ‘half and half’ instead of sugar in your tea and coffee 
  • Below are some food options that can help you manage your diabetes and what can make it worse
​Better food options if you have Type 2 Diabetes To be avoided if possible if you have Type 2 Diabetes
​

Breakfast:

• Porridge oats or instant porridge sachets with milk or water (1 medium bowl portion)
• A high fibre cereal with milk such as bran based flakes (1 medium bowl portion)
• Fresh fruit (1 palm size portion) and ‘lite’ or ‘diet’ yogurt
• 2 medium slices of wholemeal or seeded toast (medium thickness) with butter or plant based spread

​Other Meals:
• Meat sandwich such as ham, luncheon meat, corned beef, chicken, fish with salad on wholemeal or seeded bread (2 slices medium thickness)
• Noodles (1 single packet) with any available vegetable frozen or tinned with cooked meat or tinned beans and herbs/spices (no added salt)
• Microwaveable rice ½ a single packet with frozen or tinned vegetables and a portion of beans or cooked meat
• Beans or tinned tomatoes on wholemeal toast (2 slices medium thickness)
• A microwaveable healthy options ready meal portion for 1 with extra vegetables
• Flavoured packet couscous (1 single packet)  with vegetables and cooked meat or cheese or any canned bean 
• Avocado or humus on toast with cooked meat (if available) or sandwich on wholemeal (2 slices medium thickness)
• Cooked meat and salad with ‘light’ dressing or salsa on tortilla wrap or pitta bread (1 large or 2 small) 
​To be avoided if possible if you have Type 2 Diabetes
​

Breakfast:
• Sugar coated cereals
• Large portions of jams or marmalades
• Adding sugar onto cereals
• More than 2 slices of toast
• Sugary pastries 

Other Meals:
• Meals that only consist of carbohydrates (starchy foods) such as potato, pasta, rice etc. 
• Meals that consist of very large portions of carbohydrates as above
• Meals that have sauces that you think may be very sugary. High sugar would be 10g of sugar in 100g of the product.
