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 the amount of medicine or insulin you take will be calibrated to match the amount of food that you eat every day. If you eat more food than usual without an adjustment in your medication, you may have high blood glucose (hyperglycemia). If you eat less food than usual, you may 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.
