You should follow a balanced diet with consistent carbohydrate intake to match your insulin doses. Consume whole grains, brown rice, oats, vegetables, fruits, and lean proteins, while limiting refined flour, sugar, and unhealthy fats. Eat your meals and snacks evenly throughout the day to align with your insulin action and prevent large blood sugar spikes. Consult a dietitian for a personalised meal plan tailored to your insulin regimen and daily activity for optimal blood sugar control.
