Abstract
Choose Your Foods: Exchange Lists for Diabetes (formerly Exchange Lists for Meal Planning), a booklet used to help people with diabetes plan meals, has been in existence for
more than 50 years. Planning for the fifth revision was guided by survey responses
from >3,000 registered dietitians and other health professionals, current diabetes
management and nutrition recommendations, and the food marketplace. In addition to
a name change, major changes were made in design and overall readability. Changes
within food groupings and the addition of a number of foods (mainly ethnic/regional)
were accomplished while maintaining the well-recognized and accepted mean macronutrient
and energy values of the basic lists. As with previous editions, this publication
is intended as a resource for use by individuals with diabetes, with the guidance
of a registered dietitian. This booklet is also intended to be used as a basis for
nutrition educational materials developed by the American Dietetic Association and
American Diabetes Association (eg, carbohydrate counting, weight management) and as
a method for students and others to learn about diabetes meal planning. Practical
guidelines for use of this updated resource for meal planning (eg, sugar alcohols,
dietary fiber, and alcohol) are also presented.
