Diabetic diet helps control blood sugar levels

Blood glucose control is a priority for people with diabetes.

Not only can it make diabetes worse in the long term, but it can also be very dangerous.

The diet aims to distribute carbohydrates and different food groups fairly evenly throughout the day.

In fact, to control blood glucose levels and weight, carbohydrate intake should be spread out well throughout the day, with appropriate spacing between meals.

For example, it is not desirable to eat 4 portions of fruit at breakfast and then not eat any for the rest of the day.
