Diabetic men who are interested in the Nutrisystem program can enroll in Nutrisystem D, a plan that specifically caters to a diabetic's needs through perfectly portioned meals. Nutrisystem D has partnered with the American Diabetes Association through a shared goal of helping to balance the ABCs of diabetes: A1C/blood sugar levels, blood pressure and cholesterol.

On the Other: Pre-Packaged Food

Participants lose weight partially due to the convenience of the program; there is no need to count calories or keep track of fat and carbohydrates as the meals are perfectly portioned for weight loss--in essence, the dieter makes few decisions regarding what food to eat on his own. While Nutrisystem is a plan that is balanced for diabetics, participants do not learn how to choose foods that help to keep their diabetes under control. Diabetic men must continue to closely monitor the food they are consuming when they leave the Nutrisystem plan; by doing so they will keep the ABCs of diabetes in control when off the Nutrisystem plan.

Bottom Line

Nutrisystem can be a healthy way for diabetic men to lose weight, however, they must not get too accustomed to the convenience of the pre-packaged food. Diabetic men should consider participating in the Nutrisystem plan under the supervision of a physician. That way, eating habits while on the plan--as well as eating habits when reintroducing everyday food after completing the plan--are monitored.
