Take your medications on time
Ask your physician when the best time to take your medications is. They may tell you to take your pills before you eat, or if you’re on insulin, you may need to take it up to a half an hour before you eat.
Eat your meals and snacks on a schedule
Try and eat at the same times every day. By scheduling your meals and snacks, you have a better chance of maintaining an even blood sugar level. Don’t skip any meals or snacks, as this will upset your sugar levels. Another meal tip… eat smaller meals, but have them more frequently throughout the day. This helps keep your blood sugar at an even level.
Eat the same amount every day
If you try to keep the amount of food you eat the same every day, you’ll be more successful at managing your blood sugar levels. If you eat a large meal on one day, and a small meal the next day, your levels will fluctuate all over the place.
Exercise
You should do exercise every day. Something low impact like walking or swimming is best. Exercise gets your circulation going, especially in your arms and legs. Do not do any exercise like weight lifting without the permission of your physician. Doing heavy lifting or pushing can raise your blood sugar and your blood pressure.
