Pro’s
- Having customizable meals appeals to pickier tastes and will also make it easier for diabetics to enjoy eating with this program.
- These meals are very convenient and can be made in the microwave or oven.
- A diabetic chef ensures that the meals are appropriate for the needs of a diabetic.
- Nutritional information is available for all DineWise foods, including DineWise Diabetic meals.
- Coupon codes are available online for 10-15% percent off a purchase from DineWise.
Con’s
- This program is very pricey and is not ideal for an entire diabetic family. Although the program claims that meal plans start at $200 for a weekís worth (21 meals), very few of the meal choices would fit the necessary price range in order to add up to such a low total. With the special needs of a diabetic, sticking to this $200 a week minimum would be very challenging and would likely limit an individual to a very basic and often repeated diet.
- No exercise is recommended by the DineWise program.
- DineWise Diabetic only has 10 meals in their plan. Diabetics may soon grow tired of such a repetitive menu. This limited meal plan may also be discouraging to diabetics when compared to the vast options available from this company that are not suitable for their specific needs.
Conclusion
The DineWise Diabetic meal delivery program may seem to greatly simplify the life of a diabetic, but the meal plan should be studied more closely before this program is started. Diabetics may find that they cannot afford the cost of these meals and may need to find another solution.
