Diabetes Tips
Keep Eating Habits Consistent- Skipping meals, especially breakfast, could push your blood sugar higher, and depending which blood glucose-lowering medications you take, could cause hypoglycemia (low blood sugar).
Include and Enjoy Healthy Sources of Carbs - An eating plan that is too low in carbohydrate is not balanced and may deprive the body of important fiber, vitamins, and minerals.
Eat Diabetes Bars and Shakes as Meal Replacements - Bars or shakes made specifically for people with diabetes can help you control blood sugar levels when you're on the go.
Talk to Your Doctor About Drinking Alcohol - Alcohol may lower blood sugar, but it can do so erratically and therefore isn't considered a safe or effective method of glucose control.
Have a Cup of Green Tea - Replacing sugary drinks with green tea is a great way to cut calories.
Drink Water to Save Calories and Stay Hydrated - It's a smart idea to drink plenty of calorie-free beverages, especially water, every day.
Splash a Little Vinegar - Can a spoonful of vinegar help the blood sugar go down.
Set Aside Time for Quality Sleep - Too little sleep or poor sleep can disrupt your hormones, leading to increased appetite, higher blood sugar, and a thicker waistline.
Exercise to Boost Energy & Improve Sleep- Sneak in at least a few minutes of daily exercise by walking on your lunch break and taking the stairs instead of the elevator
