NutriGenie Diabetes Nutrition version 7.0 for Windows

"Four of the six leading causes of death -- diabetes, heart disease, cancer and obesity -- are related to nutrition ... [but] many doctors don't ask questions about diet until the patient has a heart attack."
Dr. Steve Zeisel,
Chairman, Nutrition Department, University of North Carolina

Since ancient times, diet has been recognized as a cornerstone of diabetes management. Treatment for Type I diabetes consists of a combination of controlled diet and daily injections of insulin, on the other hand, diet alone can control Type II diabetes in many cases.

Diabetes meal planning has never been easier: NutriGenie Diabetes Nutrition incorporates the American Diabetes Association's Food Exchange System in addition to the USDA's Food Guide Pyramid. It can automatically generate daily menus that meet your Exchange specification using only the foods you select. Or it can generate millions of well-balanced menus that meets your calorie requirement using thousands of foods from its database. The software allows you to monitor your diet for conformance with the diabetes diet prescribed by the National Institute of Diabetes & Digestive & Kidney Diseases.

NutriGenie Diabetes Nutrition is the most sophisticated and comprehensive diabetes dietary management system available. Whether you follow the carbohydrate counting approach, or fat gram counting, or ADA food exchange system, NutriGenie Diabetes Nutrition will save you many hours of tedious planning and record keeping. New and unique features to organize food database make food selection a breeze: user can hide and reshow foods, assign them to various food groups or meals, search, sort and selectively print nutrients. No other diabetes nutrition software on the market gives users comparable insight into their diet. NutriGenie Diabetes Nutrition is an excellent companion to the American Diabetes Association's publications, especially those having nutritional data.

 

Although NutriGenie diabetes nutrition software is used at many medical institutions, we are not always allowed to use their logos without paying a licensing fee. Since publishing nutrition software is not as big a business as selling T-shirts and baseball caps with university logos, we have removed the logo and name of the university from the adjacent graphic. Thank you, David G Marrero, PhD, J. O. Ritchey Professor of Medicine, Division of Endocrinology & Metabolism, Indiana University School of Medicine, for pointing this out.
