At Event and Catering Solutions Lanzarote, owner Nerina talks a lot about her passion for food. For her, that means sun-ripened local tomatoes, freshly caught fish from the Atlantic, and the bold, honest flavours that make Canarian cuisine so special. It’s the joy of creating dishes that are as beautiful to look at as they are to eat.
But in Nerina’s world, catering goes far beyond taste. It’s about deep dietary knowledge and the confidence that comes from knowing every guest is cared for. From athletes requiring specific fuel to guests on health detox retreats, and particularly for those managing health conditions like Type 2 Diabetes, understanding the value of food is a fundamental part of the service.
For those navigating Type 2 Diabetes, food choices are powerful. The goal is stable blood sugar, achieved through mindful eating that focuses on complex carbohydrates, lean proteins, and healthy fats. A key part of this management is eating regular, balanced meals and snacks. This helps to maintain consistent blood sugar levels throughout the day and stabilises energy.
Nerina’s Guide to Diabetes-Friendly Choices
So, what does this look like on a plate? It’s about building a meal that is both delicious and supportive of well-being.
- Embrace Fibre-Rich Vegetables: Think colourful, non-starchy vegetables like grilled courgette, roasted peppers, fresh leafy salads, and green beans. They add volume, flavour, and essential nutrients without spiking blood sugar.
- Choose Lean Proteins: Fresh, locally sourced fish like sea bass or cod, skinless poultry, and legumes are fantastic choices. They provide sustained energy and help with satiety.
- Select Smart Carbs: Opt for complex carbohydrates that release energy slowly. Think sweet potatoes, quinoa, and small portions of whole grains like farro or brown rice instead of their refined, white counterparts.
- Healthy Fats are Friends: The excellent local olive oil, avocados, and nuts are great in moderation.
- Sugar Alternatives: To keep in line with recommended sugar intake for Type 2 diabetics, Nerina suggests alternatives such as vanilla essence, cinnamon, cloves or nutmeg to add flavour to recipes.
