Meal planning
Your body changes much of the food you eat into glucose. The amount of blood glucose that comes from your diet is important, because your dose of insulin will be calibrated to match the amount of food that you eat every day. If you eat more food than usual without an insulin adjustment, you will have high blood glucose (hyperglycemia). If you eat less food than usual, you will have low blood glucose (hypoglycemia).
When you eat is also important. Your meals and medication work together so that your body can use the sugar from the food for energy or store it for a later time. A dietitian can help you formulate a meal plan.
