Helpful tips for diabetes patients: All carbohydrates affect blood glucose levels, so it is important to know which foods contain carbohydrates. Choose healthy foods that contain carbohydrates and be aware of the portion size (the amount of carbohydrates needed). Reduce salt intake. Eating too much salt can increase the risk of high blood pressure, which in turn increases the risk of heart disease and stroke. When you have diabetes, you are already more susceptible to these conditions. Eat more fruits and vegetables. This can help you get the vitamins, minerals, and fiber your body needs daily to stay healthy. You can always try low-calorie or calorie-free sweeteners (also known as artificial sweeteners) to help reduce sugar intake. Don’t forget to stay active. Being more active helps you control your blood sugar levels. Remember to regularly measure your blood glucose levels at home. If you experience symptoms of hypoglycemia such as weakness, dizziness, increased sweating, rapid heartbeat, vision disturbances, or difficulty concentrating, usually eating or drinking something containing sugar helps.
