Easy Ways To Maintain Your Blood Glucose Levels.

Stabilizing Your Blood Sugar
One of the best ways to help stabilize your Blood sugar is a simple
process called portion control.
I myself have tendency to eat to fast. The problem with eating too fast is
simple, you eat too much. I will elaborate, we all get an emotional high
from eating and sometimes eat so fast causing us to over eat.
Slow Down.
The next time you eat try this, chew your food and enjoy the taste. Make
an effort, and try to slow down while eating. Most people are likely to
overeat. There is just not time to let our stomachs get full.
Hold Off For That Second Helping.
Another way to challenge yourself is this, instead of reaching for that
second plate as soon as your first plate is gone, wait just 10 minutes. I
will bet that by waiting it will be much easier to refuse that second
helping. Just think what 10 minutes could do for your overall health, blood sugar
and weight.
Portions Size.
If you can get through just a few days or a week of practicing the above
mentioned tips you are on your way, now try adjusting your portions of
food intake.
Instead of filling your plate up,try smaller portions. Don't be to drastic
the first few days. Try reducing portion size a little bit each day. There
is no need to measure or weigh your food, use your eye site. It's that
simple! The best way to loose weight and keep your blood sugar down at the
same time is by eating smaller portions. Give yourself time this will
work. If you happen to overeat at one meal don't beat yourself up just
focus more the next time you eat.
Eat Frequently.
I have analyzed my eating patterns and discovered that when I wait to long
to eat and find myself starving, this is the time that I will most likely
overeat. The best way to not do this is simple eat more often, and eat
smaller meals. If you plan on eating every 3 hours or so you will see how
just an apple and a half sandwich will keep you full to the next meal.
Waiting 4-6 hours between meals, you will eat more and your body will
suffer for it. It is much easier for your body breakdown smaller portions and process the
sugar that to stuff yourself. Remember being diabetic your body cannot process extra sugar like most people. So smaller meals= less sugar in your blood.
