The new Dietary Guidelines for Americans (2025–2030) brought back the food pyramid—and flipped it upside down. But what does that actually mean if you have diabetes?

In this video, I break down the latest Dietary Guidelines for Americans through a diabetes lens. We’ll talk about what changed, why food affects people with diabetes differently, and how to apply these updates in a way that supports your blood sugar, health, and relationship with food.

You’ll learn:

What the new food pyramid is and why it was flipped upside down

Why the Dietary Guidelines are written for the general population—not specifically for diabetes

How protein, carbohydrates, and fats affect blood sugar differently in diabetes

How to think about MyPlate for diabetes (and why the standard plate often needs adjusting)

How to match your food intake to your body’s actual needs instead of generic rules

If you’ve ever felt confused or frustrated by nutrition advice that doesn’t seem to work for your diabetes, this video will help you understand why—and what to do instead.

This is an educational, evidence-based explanation designed to help people with diabetes use nutrition guidance thoughtfully, without guilt, extremes, or losing food joy.
