Using the Diabetes Plate, how can pizza night still fit?

One or two slices plus a side salad, ideally on a thin or veggie crust.

  1. It can't, skip pizza
  2. One or two slices plus a side salad ✔
  3. Eat the toppings and toss the crust

Why: ADA says combination foods still work. Pick a thin or vegetable-based crust, pile on veggies, stick to one or two slices, and add a side salad so half the meal is non-starchy vegetables.

Huh, didn't know that: ADA suggests topping pizza with lots of vegetables instead of meat, or choosing a lean meat.
