Morning Routine
Check Blood Sugar
Start your day by checking your blood sugar. This helps you plan meals and adjust
medications if needed.
Healthy Breakfast Choices
opt for balanced breakfasts like oatmeal with nuts or a veggie omelet. Avoid sugary
cereals that can spike your blood sugar.
Medication Management
Take your medications as prescribed and set reminders if needed.
Mid-Morning
Stay Active
Incorporate some physical activity, like a brisk walk or stretching, to help regulate blood
sugar.
Snack Smartly
If you're hungry, choose healthy snacks like almonds or carrot sticks with hummus.
Lunchtime
Plan Balanced Meals
Aim for a lunch that includes lean protein, non-starchy vegetables, and a small portion
of whole grains.
Stay Hydrated
Drink plenty of water throughout the day to stay hydrated.
Afternoon
Check Blood Sugar Again
Consider another blood sugar check to monitor how your meals and activity are
affecting your levels.
Manage Stress
Engage in stress-reducing activities like deep breathing or a quick walk.
Dinner Time
Healthy Dinner Choices
For dinner, focus on balanced meals. Limit carbs in the evening to help stabilize levels
overnight.
