I am a Contributor/Nutrition Editor at http://www.FOODPICKER.org , which is a website designed to help people with diabetes make diabetes friendly food choices.  Food items on the website are assessed using the guidelines from the American Diabetes Association, American Dietetic Association, and American Heart Association.  The foods are rated on whether it can be eaten more often, in moderation, or less often. Also, there is additional specific nutrition information about each food. The food items are listed under specific categories, but foods can also be searched.

In addition, the American Diabetes Association & American Dietetics Association Exchange Lists for Diabetes is another useful tool to help make better food choices.  An exchange list can also be found on the Mayo Clinic Online Exchange list at http://www.mayoclinic.com/health/diabetes-diet/DA00077

I created this blog to answer nutrition related questions from people with diabetes that were submitted to http://www.FOODPICKER.org.  Also, I will try to post additional credible nutrition information.

🙂  Have a great day!
