Learn how to count carbohydrates and be mindful of the type and quality of carbs you consume. Focus on complex carbohydrates, like whole grains, legumes, and vegetables, which have a gentler impact on blood sugar compared to simple carbs like sugary snacks.

Aim to include plenty of fibre-rich foods in your meals, such as whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and legumes. These foods not only help regulate blood sugar but also keep you feeling full and satisfied.

  6. 5. Stay Consistent with Meal Times Consistency in meal timing is vital for managing diabetes. Try to eat your meals and snacks at the same times each day. This consistency helps prevent blood sugar spikes and crashes. If you need to adjust your meal schedule, consult with your healthcare team to ensure it aligns with your medication or insulin regimen.
