Plan meals at the same time every day, so that the blood sugars are more stable. This also helps insulin to work better. Check your blood sugar levels to learn how certain foods and beverages affect you. This will help you make food choices that will keep your blood sugar as close to normal as possible, and will help you know how to adjust your insulin. Use alcohol with caution and never on an empty stomach.
Alcohol can cause very low blood sugar.
