Diet and Nutrition Tips for Managing Diabetes Effectively

Focus on a Balanced Diet

Monitor Carbohydrate Intake

Emphasize Portion Control

Avoid Sugar and Refined Foods

People with diabetes need to limit foods high in added sugars and refined carbs. These include sugary drinks, candy, pastries, and white bread, which cause rapid spikes in blood sugar.

Eat Regular Meals and Snacks

Skipping meals can cause blood sugar levels to drop too low (hypoglycemia), while overeating can lead to spikes (hyperglycemia).

Stay Hydrated

Hydration is critical for everyone, but especially for individuals with diabetes. Dehydration can cause blood sugar to rise.

Exercise Regularly

While exercise isn’t a part of diet, it complements good nutrition in managing diabetes. Physical activity helps improve insulin sensitivity, allowing your cells to use glucose more effectively.
