What is My Diabetic Kitchen?

My Diabetic Kitchen is a personalized recipe service where you complete a detailed food profile about your diabetes management, taste preferences, kitchen equipment, and dietary needs. Chef Barry then creates custom diabetic-friendly recipes tailored specifically for you.

How does the diabetic food profile work?

The food profile is an 18-section questionnaire that takes about 10-15 minutes to complete. It covers your diabetes type, blood sugar management approach, protein and vegetable preferences sorted by glycemic impact, cooking equipment, cuisine and flavor preferences, sweetener choices, and health considerations. Your answers are compiled into a PDF that Chef Barry uses to create recipes just for you.

Is this service for Type 1 or Type 2 diabetes?

My Diabetic Kitchen serves people with Type 1 diabetes, Type 2 diabetes, prediabetes, and gestational diabetes. The food profile asks about your specific type and management approach so recipes can be tailored to your needs.

What kind of recipes will I receive?

You'll receive recipes crafted around your specific preferences — the cuisines you love, ingredients you enjoy, equipment you have, and blood sugar goals you're working toward. Every recipe is designed to be diabetic-friendly while tasting like food you actually want to eat.
