Weigh and measure food
Weighing and measuring will help us to have the right portion size. People with diabetes can eat about 30 - 45 grams of total carbohydrates per meal for women and 45 - 60 grams per meal for men.
Pay attention to starch
For people with high blood sugar, starch directly affects blood sugar levels. So be careful with grains such as bread, rice... and also pay attention to starchy vegetables such as potatoes, corn, peas... because they can affect your blood sugar levels.
Try to eat slowly
This can help reduce the amount of food you take in, preventing blood sugar spikes.
Use smaller plates to control portions
Using small plates are good options for people with high blood sugar because they are good portion control methods.
Avoid large portions
Large portions tend to be very high in calories. Eating too many calories can lead to weight gain, which is a risk factor for both heart disease and high blood sugar. And if you have diabetes, it can lead to increased blood sugar levels.
