Follow these simple steps:

  • Copy a diner menu (You can use a menu from your favorite restaurant)
  • Distribute copies of menu to patients and provide them with a budget (women 45-60g per meal; men 60-75g per meal).
  • Instruct patients to select any food item on the menu and stay within their assigned CARB BUDGET
  • Using Wite-out, erase prices on the menu and replace them with “CARBOHYDRATE PRICES”
  • Use www.calorieking.com or www.nutritiondata.com to obtain nutrition composition of foods
  • Refer to PDF file titled, “DINER CARBOHYDRATE TEACHING TOOL” http://www.slideshare.net/lorenamsrd/diner-carbohydrate-teaching-tool
  • Provide new menu with carbohydrate prices (amounts) to patients
  • Provide patients with a CARBOHYDRATE BUDGET; 45-75 grams for the meal
  • Ask them to select foods from the menu while staying within their allowable CARBOHYDRATE BUDGET

Her husband’s doctor informed him that his blood glucose was “borderline” and he needed “to watch what he ate.” I thought about my carbohydrate elevator speech. Yes, the one that all diabetes educators and registered dietitians face at least once in a lifetime. How do you provide guidance to an anguished guest succinctly? Let me share with you my nutrition elevator speech for people with diabetes so you may go back to dancing, sipping Merlot or eating tanned crackers disguising themselves as whole grains.

Others feel they need to teach everything the client needs to know. Effective teaching, focuses on what the client/patient needs to DO to learn key concepts.

I have used plastic chips successfully to teach different nutrition concepts such as protein, fat and carbohydrate as well as to teach carbohydrate content. The CHIP method allows the learner to actively participate in the learning process. Using the chips allows a more casual exchange between facilitator and learner and removes the ”test fear factor” attached to the learning evaluation process. Try the CHIP method.  It is fun and effective. I promise.
