A healthy meal, add a salad
Tricks to prevent glucose spike:
Drink 8oz water before eating.
Eat salad before rest of food.
Walk after eating.
Do not eat late or snack. Try to eat last meal by 5:00-6:00pm. The later you eat, the worse for your pancreas and higher blood sugar numbers during the night. Give your pancreas at least 14 hours rest from food. A handful of nuts will raise blood sugars if needed, but it should not be needed as long as you aren’t on insulin.
