Looking to shed some weight to manage diabetes? The answer probably lies in the Nine-inch Plate recommended by nutrition department of American Diabetes Association. Half a 9-inch plate must have non-starchy vegetables; one quarter each of lean protein and high-quality carbohydrates, and a non-caloric beverage for hydration. High-quality carbohydrates encompass whole grains, starchy vegetables, legumes, fruits, and dairy products.
