Food directly impacts the blood sugar level, raising or reducing blood glucose levels. Managing diabetes also means managing the nutrition plan, identifying what and how much to eat. Long term care in Saint Paul, Minnesota ensures this plan is carried out as long as needed.
Eating regular meals in the proper portion and higher variety ensures healthy choices are made in the right sizes. While you may get this advice from medical professionals, you can estimate food portion sizing with something you already have, your hands.
Carbohydrates are usual staples but they raise glucose levels. For starchy meals or grains, close up your fist and choose the amount up to its size. This is also applicable to fruits. You can select the slice or size in proportion to your closed fist. When eating meat and other alternatives, you can opt for a portion at the size of your palm. The meat’s thickness can be referenced with the thickness of your little finger. Vegetables are an important source of nutrients that may help manage your glucose levels. As such, you may opt for as much as you can hold between both hands.
Food is important. A provider of assisted living in St. Louis Park, Minnesota will make sure the food you eat counts.
