Dominating Diabetes
Lesson 2
- Lifestyle Nutrition Plan
- Snacks to raise blood sugar
By now, you have started changing your diet and should be starting to see blood sugar changes. What do you do when you have a low? We know the general advice is to have a cola or candy bar, but that creates too much fluctuation and takes you back into that vicious high-and-low cycle. Besides, you have come too far to be adding those things back in ever again.
Anything less than 5 grams of carbs will not raise your blood sugar, so you need a snack with 7 or 8 grams of carbs to raise your blood sugar. Anything more than this will cause it to jump too much.
If you are having a low, have a snack with 7-8 grams of carbs, then re-check your blood sugar in 30-45 minutes to ensure it is coming up to an optimal level.
