Ways to Support Blood Sugar Management

Finding ways to regulate your sugar intake can be an important task for those seeking to manage their blood sugar levels. Eating a balanced diet and limiting added sugars is a great way to do this. Here's some tips that can help you support your blood sugar management:[1]

• Include non-starchy vegetables and whole fruits in your diet. These foods are rich in nutrients and fiber and lack the added sugars that sneak into many processed foods.
• Favor whole grains instead of ultra-processed grains. Most grain products have whole grain alternatives, which retain the nutrients and fiber that ultra-processed grains strip out.
• Get your protein from lean sources and include seafood and plant-based sources like beans, legumes and tofu.
• Keep track of your carbohydrate intake. Read labels or use an app to track the number of carbohydrates you get in each meal. Meal planning can help you know ahead of time how many carbohydrates you will be eating.[2]

If you have diabetes or prediabetes, talk to your healthcare provider about how to support your blood sugar management; they can give you more personalized advice. A registered dietitian nutritionist can help you create a meal plan individualized to your needs.
