Guest guest Posted March 21, 2012 Report Share Posted March 21, 2012 Here is our gestational pattern (as a start). We don't use " exchanges " for our diabetic patients, we teach carb counting and encourage balanced meals (giving them the rational) and use the plate method. I'd take his carbs and divide them out, for example, 45 per " meal " & add protein (1-2 oz) for each " meal " . Give him smaller plates.  Holly  ---------- Holly Lee Brewer, MS RD Pediatric Dietitian, Diabetes Educator Medical Nutrition Therapist, Las Vegas, NV Maj Holly Brewer, USAFR BSC 301st MDS, NAS JRB Fort Worth (Carswell), TX http://hollyinbalad.blogspot.com From: " Sue Nichols, RD/CDE/CDN " <To: " rd-usa " <rd-usa > >Sent: Wednesday, March 21, 2012 9:34 AM >Subject: 5 small meals a day menu pattern > > > > Hi, does anyone have an exhange list for meal planning for someone who was instructed by his doc to eat five small meals a day?
