Blood Sugar Management: More Than Just Carbohydrates
Blood sugar management is crucial for people with diabetes, and balanced meals and snacks are key for people with diabetes, prediabetes and even those at risk for diabetes. Many people think carbohydrate foods and sugar are the only dietary factors involved, and often focus on what to limit or eliminate from their diets in order to manage blood sugar. The truth is that incorporating other important nutrients into your meals and snacks can actually have a positive impact on blood sugar management.
