Check with your doctor or a registered dietitian To find out exact portions and types of foods you should eat, we suggest you work with a registered dietitian (RD) who has experience working with people who have diabetes. A dietitian  can help support your efforts to change your eating habits and control your blood glucose level. To find a registered dietitian near you:

1. Locate the names of American Diabetes Association Recognized Diabetes Education Programs in your area or call 1-800-DIABETES (1-800-342-2383).

2. Call The American Dietetic Association at 1-800-366-1655.  Ask for the names of dietitians in your area that specialize in diabetes.

3. Call the American Association of Diabetes Educators, at 1-800-TEAM-UP4 (1-800-832-6874).  Ask for the names of several diabetes educators in your zip code
