Meal delivery and diabetes: what to check

Distinguish no added sugar from individual suitability

A meal with no added sugar can still contain carbohydrates from rice, pasta, bread and other ingredients. For someone with diabetes, per-portion information and meal organisation are more useful than a slogan. Request detailed information and follow the plan agreed with the care team. A food supplier’s description should never prompt an independent change to medication or insulin dosing.

Clarify the adaptations actually offered

Some meal services offer controlled menus or access to a dietitian. Ask what their adaptation includes: starch portions, dessert ingredients, substitutions and predictable delivery timing. Requirements differ with the person’s treatment and health circumstances. The French health-insurance resources can help prepare questions for a professional discussion; the information here is not an individual dietary prescription or a replacement for diabetes care.
