Diabetes: Blood Sugar Control

The best meals are those that are WHOLE FOODS. In order to prevent diabetic complications you should not only learn to balance your blood sugar, but also eat snacks that are rich sources of vitamins, minerals, and polyphenols.

Goal: Eat three meals and one to three snacks daily. Choose a variety of foods to help ensure the balance of nutrients for optimal health. Eating regularly and never skipping meals helps prevent low or high blood sugar.

Tip: Each meal should contain sources of healthy fats, protein, and fiber along with carbohydrates. Fats, protein, and fiber are digested slowly and help stabilize blood sugar.
