Diet Management in PWD
Diet management in people with diabetes (PWD) is crucial for maintaining optimal blood glucose levels and overall health. It involves monitoring carbohydrate intake to prevent spikes in blood sugar and choosing complex carbohydrates over simple sugars. Including a variety of fiber-rich foods such as vegetables, fruits, and whole grains helps in slowing glucose absorption. Lean proteins and healthy fats are essential for balanced nutrition and sustaining energy levels. Portion control and regular meal timing aid in stabilizing blood sugar levels throughout the day. Additionally, limiting processed foods and sugary beverages can significantly reduce the risk of hyperglycemia
