6 Diabetes Meal Delivery Services That Meet ADA Guidelines

Figuring out what to cook for dinner can be a hassle, especially if you’re trying to manage your blood sugar and keep type 2 diabetes under control. Indeed, counting carbs can often be a full-time job in and of itself.

Fortunately, many companies have launched meal delivery services, and several adhere to a healthy low-carb approach that can help people with type 2 diabetes.

While many cook-at-home meal services, such as Blue Apron, can be customized to meet American Diabetes Association (ADA) standards, maybe you don’t have time to study the nutrition facts of every meal these services offer. That’s where the ADA-friendly options come in.

What to Look for in a Meal Delivery Service When You Have Type 2 Diabetes

If you have type 2 diabetes, be sure to research the amount of carbs, calories, and sodium in prepackaged meals because they can have a tendency to be higher in sugar and salt, says Katherine Zeratsky, RD, a dietitian at the Mayo Clinic who is based in Rochester, Minnesota.

“You want to be mindful of the carb intake, but you also want good-quality carb intake,” she says. “It should be representative of a well-balanced, portion-controlled meal.” According to the ADA, diabetes-friendly nonstarchy veggies, including cucumbers, lettuce, broccoli, and cauliflower, can help keep your blood sugar stable.

Quick, premade meals can be helpful for people with busy schedules, but you’ll also want to be mindful of how this food has been prepared. Zeratsky cautions the meals are only as good as the ingredients used, and she says flash-frozen is best at preserving nutrients and vitamins.

Zeratsky says meal kits that provide raw ingredients in specific portions, interesting spices, and step-by-step recipes can be a good way to introduce high-quality ingredients in a way that’s deliberately portion-controlled and allows you to customize your plate. Some meal kits also let you choose organic options or specific proteins.

“What’s nice about some of the box meal kits is that for a lot of people, you can get fairly decent quality ingredients that are premeasured, and I think that can very much help with portion control,” she says. “Right out of the gates, they’re doing some thoughtful planning. It allows not only that convenience, but it allows them to not have to put so much mental effort into controlling portions, because it’s not as if they can go back for seconds or thirds.”

We researched six of these services to find out more about their offerings, their price structure, and why the company decided to focus on type 2 diabetes–friendly meals.

Here’s a look into the options that exist for premade, at-home delivered meals and delivered ingredient boxed meal kits (in no particular order):

1. Magic Kitchen

Magic Kitchen started as a service to offer healthy meals to busy families and seniors, but it expanded its offerings after customers started asking for diabetes-friendly menus. CEO Greg Miller says the business began in Northern California in 2005 to provide healthy, nutritious meals to seniors, especially those who were shut in.

“We have been serving special diets for about nine years now, and diabetic-friendly meals were the first area we offered special diet meals in,” Miller says. “This portion of our business has grown dramatically since we started our offering on these meals. Today the menu is very broad and covers every individual’s taste.”

Magic Kitchen’s registered dietitian–created menu for people with diabetes comes with a prepared and flash-frozen entree and two sides. The company offers lunch and dinner options, and each meal contains less than 65 grams (g) of carbohydrates, but the company says most meals stay between 25 to 40 g. Each meal is relatively low in sodium and has less than 700 milligrams (mg), but the company says most meals are below 500 mg.

A Taste of What You’ll Eat Meal examples include beef pot roast with red wine sauce, tangerine orange chicken breast, and salmon and vegetable linguini.

What You’ll Pay Pricing varies depending on how many meals you want per day. Seven meals (one meal daily) ranges between $75 and $85; 14 meals (two meals daily) costs between $150 and $165; and 21 meals (breakfast, lunch, and dinner for the week) ranges between $225 and $250. That shakes out to about $11 to $12 per meal.

Another diet option, called Keto-Carb30, offers a carb-restricted diet of 30 net carbs per day. (Just be sure to talk to your healthcare team before trying keto, as it may pose health risks for some people, including those on diabetes medication. ) Both diets offer meals focused on fish, chicken, and nonstarchy veggies.

RELATED: The Possible Benefits and Risks of the Keto Diet for Type 2 Diabetes

Diet-to-Go CEO Hilton Davis says he started the company 27 years ago with the mission of providing meals for busy customers who followed health guidelines from the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA). As the company grew, it realized there was a need for diabetes-friendly meal services. Hilton says he wanted “to help people.”

“We have many success stories of people who were prediabetic and now they’ve gotten their blood sugar down, people who were diabetic and have gotten off medication,” he says. “To hear the stories and know the product we’re providing is helping people in that way, it gives you a good feeling.”

A Taste of What You’ll Eat The sample menu for the Balance Diabetes plan includes dishes such as blueberry pancakes and turkey sausage for breakfast, hummus pizza for lunch, and baked salmon with pineapple salsa for dinner.

What You’ll Pay Before tax, meals are $9.99 apiece. Frequency is five or seven days a week, and you can choose to get all three daily meals, or just lunch and dinner.

The diabetes-friendly menu focuses on medical nutrition therapy to provide moderate-sized meals that are low in fat and calories. Their meals focus on lean protein, with at least one fish meal a week, whole grains, and nonstarchy vegetables.
