Diabetes UK red lentil dhal 😋

Описание: This red lentil daal recipe has been specially selected as part of our special partnership with Diabetes UK.
At Slimming World, we’ve helped thousands of our members to lose weight and manage their diabetes. Now, we’ve partnered with Diabetes UK to make that support even stronger. If you’re living with diabetes, or you’ve been told you’re at risk of developing type 2 diabetes, we can support you to make healthy changes, lose weight and improve your overall health.
The Slimming World healthy eating plan, called Food Optimising, is incredibly generous and flexible, and all of our recipes can be tailored to meet your individual dietary needs.
To give you a taste of the delicious variety you can enjoy at Slimming World, we've chosen a selection of healthy and flavoursome recipes in partnership with Diabetes UK including this red lentil dahl.

Serves 4
Syne per serving - FREE

300g dried red lentils, drained and rinsed
2 large carrots, diced
2 tbsp madras curry powder
2 x 400g cans chopped tomatoes
450g fresh spinach
Juice of ½ lemon

Put the lentils in a large saucepan with the carrots, curry powder, chopped tomatoes and 1 litre water, put it over a medium-high heat and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat to low and simmer for 25-30 minutes, stirring often, until the lentils are soft and the dhal has reduced (if you prefer a thicker texture, continue to simmer for a further 5 minutes).
Add the spinach and cook for 1-2 minutes until wilted – you may need to add the spinach a handful at a time to fit it in the pan. Ladle into 4 bowls, and top with a squeeze of lemon juice

How does Slimming World support members with diabetes?
Type 1 diabetes: Many Slimming World members with type 1 diabetes lose weight and steadily become fitter and healthier.
Type 2 diabetes: We have advice on managing blood glucose levels, including a five-day low-carbohydrate eating plan.
Prediabetes: If you’ve been told that you’re at risk of developing type 2 diabetes, making positive and lasting lifestyle changes can help you avoid or delay a diagnosis in the future.
Slimming World’s latest evaluation found that more than half of members surveyed with a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes, who had lost at least 10% of their body weight, said they had put the condition into remission.*
How can Slimming World help people with diabetes and those at risk of type 2 diabetes?
At Slimming World, we’ve conducted several studies looking at the health and weight loss outcomes of these members, and plan to continue our research. An evaluation, published in the journal Archives of Diabetes & Obesity in 2021, showed that, of the members surveyed:

33.9% of those with type 2 diabetes reported their diabetes had gone into remission; this increased to 51% for those who’d lost at least 10% of their body weight
61% were able to reduce or stop taking their diabetes medication
81% saw improvements in their blood glucose (also known as blood sugar levels) management
80% reported an improved quality of life
76% found it easy to follow our Food Optimising eating plan alongside the dietary advice from their healthcare team

The latest evaluation also includes members living with type 1 diabetes, with 88% reporting improvements in their blood sugar levels.

We hope that by sharing resources and expertise with Diabetes UK, we’ll build on our knowledge of weight loss and diabetes even further, so we can support members with the latest and most effective information in diabetes care, and signpost into Diabetes UK’s services when specialist support is needed.
