An effective meal plan should be tailored to your medical conditions and eating habits. A good starting point is a three meals and three snacks plan to even out food intake during the day.
Eating too much at one meal will cause blood sugar spikes. On the other hand, not eating regularly can cause unwanted drops in blood sugar.
If you are taking diabetes medications, the timing of meals and snacks needs to be coordinated with the timing of insulin injections, medications, and blood glucose tests. Regularity is crucial.
This includes the same dose of insulin or medications at the same time every day and eating the same amount of healthy foods at the same time every day.
