How it Works:
Pick a food from 1 of 31 categories (left side of website).
FOODPICKER will give a diabetes friendly recommendation including "More Often," "In Moderation," or "Less Often."
It will also provide a nutrition analysis and offer tips regarding preparation, healthier alternatives, carbohydrate choices and calorie expenditure.
Diabetes Q&A:
Several diabetes professionals have volunteered their time answering questions received through this website. Visit the Contributors link to learn more about
these people.
History:
FOODPICKER was created several years ago by Christine Carlson, Registered Dietitian & Certified Diabetes Educator.
Christine got the idea after her dad was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.
Christine's grandfather also had diabetes. Research indicates family history of diabetes increases risk.
