You don't need a strict diet to support healthy blood sugar. Consistent, simple habits are what make the difference. Here's an easy plan to follow every day.
Morning
Protein-rich breakfast
Start with eggs, cottage cheese, Greek yogurt or a protein smoothie instead of sugary cereal or pastries.
Hydrate and take your drops
Drink water first thing and take your morning serving of drops.
During the day
Build a balanced plate
Half non-starchy vegetables, a quarter lean protein and a quarter whole grains or starchy vegetables, with a little healthy fat.
Mind your food order
Start meals with vegetables and protein, and eat carbohydrates last, a simple trick that can soften the glucose rise.
Walk after meals
Even 10 minutes of walking after eating helps your muscles use glucose.
Smart snacks
Choose protein and fibre: nuts, cheese, boiled eggs or vegetables with hummus.
Evening
Lighter dinner
Keep dinner balanced and eat a few hours before bed. Take your evening serving.
Manage stress
Stress raises blood sugar. Unwind with a walk, stretching, reading or breathing exercises.
Sleep well
Aim for 7 to 9 hours. Poor sleep can make your body less responsive to insulin the next day.
