Absolutely! A balanced breakfast sets the tone for steady blood sugar throughout the day. Pairing protein (like eggs or Greek yogurt), healthy fats (like avocado or nuts), and fiber (like whole grains or chia seeds) helps prevent spikes and keeps you full longer.

You’re welcome! 💖 When taking medication, drinking at least half a glass (about 4-6 ounces or 120-180 ml) of water is generally sufficient to help the medicine dissolve and be absorbed. Tips: Stick to plain water: Avoid coffee, tea, or juices unless advised by your doctor. Take with a full glass (8 ounces) if the medication is large or as recommended on the label. Check specific instructions: Some medications may require more water or should be taken with food. Always follow your doctor’s advice or the instructions on the medication label. 😊
To control your sleep and wake-up schedule: Stick to a routine: Go to bed and wake up at the same time every day. Create a good sleep environment: Keep your room cool, dark, and quiet. Limit screen time: Avoid electronic devices 1 hour before bed. Avoid caffeine and alcohol: Especially in the afternoon and evening. Get morning sunlight: Step outside or open your curtains right after waking up. Relax before bed: Read, meditate, or listen to calm music. Exercise regularly: Stay active, but avoid intense workouts close to bedtime. Be consistent for a few weeks to see results!
Why does exercising spikes up blood sugar even more if the blood sugar was already high. One exercises to bring it down, but why does it spike it and what can be done in that situation. Thanks Doctor.
Great question! When you exercise with high blood sugar, your body releases stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline, which can temporarily raise blood sugar further. This happens because your body thinks it needs more energy and signals the liver to release stored glucose. To manage this: Avoid intense workouts if blood sugar is above 250 mg/dL or ketones are present. Instead, opt for light activity like walking. Stay hydrated to help regulate blood sugar. Monitor levels before, during, and after exercise. Consult your doctor for adjustments in insulin or medications. Exercise is beneficial long-term but needs careful planning when blood sugar is high! 😊
You can eat tomatoes with or without seeds-it’s a matter of personal preference! 🍅 For people with diabetes, the seeds are perfectly safe and contain fiber, which can help with blood sugar control. However, if you have digestive issues (like acid reflux) or find seeds irritating, you can remove them. Both options are healthy, so choose what works best for you! 😊
