How can one accurately monitor and regulate the amount of carbohydrates to maintain blood sugar levels?

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I just read your query. I can understand your concern.

First, you need to keep track of your Hba1c for diabetes control as well. Anything excess is not important, but the glycemic load of the meal is important, as excess sugar will lead to conversion in fat and increased diabetes.

Secondly, check with your family physician or diabetologist to check the type or dosage for the same insulin because mismanagement or delay in insulin injection can lead to hypoglycemia also when sugar levels drop below levels.

Here are a few tips to manage your intake without getting worried about sugar spikes or drops.

I would suggest some suggestions to follow in your daily life.

Consume complex carbohydrates like whole wheat, quinoa, Brown rice, oats, and Broken wheat (Dalia) because they are high in fiber, and fiber helps delay the process of sugar release from foods. Other fiber-rich foods like sprouts, lentils, salads, green leafy vegetables, and whole fruits should be taken in the diet. Small and frequent meals are to be taken. A brisk walk for a minimum of 30 minutes five days a week is compulsory. Regular Self-monitoring of Blood Sugars is extremely important.

I would suggest you against consuming these:

Sodas and sweet drinks like aerated drinks and tetra-pack fruit juices are to be avoided in the diet because they are high in carbs, which increase blood sugar. Also, their high fructose content has been linked to insulin resistance and an increased risk of obesity, fatty liver, and other diseases. Refined carbs like white bread, pasta, and rice are low in fiber and high in glycemic index. This combination can result in high blood sugar levels. Fruit-flavored yogurts are usually low in fat but high in sugar. Breakfast cereals like cornflakes, sugar-coated muesli, and sugar-coated wheat flakes.Honey, maple syrup, jaggery, sugar. Packaged snacks are typically highly processed foods made from refined flour that can quickly raise your blood sugar levels. Fruits like bananas, chikoo, mangoes, dates, munakka, and raisins (Kismis) are high in the glycemic index as well as load and thus need to be avoided. Starchy vegetables need to be avoided, like potatoes, Yam (Jimikand), Colocasia ( Arbi), Beetroot, Squash, Corn, and Sweet potatoes. Eat less salt (use less salt in cooking, replace salt with other herbs and spices, and cut out commercial soups and gravies. which have a very high salt content, use a salt substitute). Do not walk barefoot.

I hope I have answered your questions.

Thank you.

Regards.
