I have IDDM (insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus) and take Human Actrapid injection (13 units in the morning, 10 units in the afternoon, and 13 units at night) and Human Insulatard injection (12 units at night). Can I get a diet chart?
You should follow a balanced diet with consistent carbohydrate intake to match your insulin doses. Include whole grains, oats, brown rice, vegetables, fruits, and lean proteins, while limiting sugar, refined flour, and unhealthy fats. Spread 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.
