Diabetes diet guide for people that have access to an oven and a hob

Managing Type 2 Diabetes For People That Have Access To An Oven And Hob

We understand it can be difficult to prioritise Type 2 diabetes when you do not have access to your own 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 an oven, hob and fridge.

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 

Meals Ideas:
• Stir fry vegetables with any meat and noodles ( ¼ standard 26cm plate portion) or rice ( ¼ plate portion)
• Dahl made with lentils and any meat or fish and any vegetables (excluding potato or other root vegetable)
• Any meat or vegetarian curry (made without potato or root vegetables) with cooked rice ( ¼ plate portion) or 1 large pitta bread or 1 medium chapatti or roti
• One baked potato (palm sized) with beans or cheese or tuna with salad or cooked vegetables
• Pasta ( ¼ plate portion) and bolognaise sauce with minced meat and vegetables
• New potatoes ( ¼ plate portion) with vegetables or salad and any cooked meat or fish or vegetarian alternative
• ‘Spanish’ omelette or Frittata made with 3 eggs and milk and any mixed vegetables or meat and/or cheese. Small portion of new potatoes or rice ( ¼ plate) if desired
• A healthy options single portion ready meal that can be cooked in the oven, with additional green vegetables
• A meat/cheese/egg ‘toasty’ (2 slices of wholemeal bread medium thickness) with a side salad
• 1 Large tortilla with pan fried meat and vegetables with a tomato based salsa and optional cheese
• Any canned soup (except potato based) with 1-2 slices of wholemeal or seeded bread (medium thickness)
• Rice and peas/beans ( ¼ plate portion of brown or basmati rice) with green salad and a meat and vegetable based curry or sauce
To be avoided if possible if you have Type 2 Diabetes

Meals To Avoid:
• 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 such as sweet chilli or sweet and sour. High sugar would be 10g of sugar in 100g of the product, for more information on labels ask at your GP practice for appropriate leaflets.
