- Stress and sleep affect blood sugar too.
Busy schedules, drive-throughs and long workdays can make blood sugar balance feel difficult. These realistic tips are designed to fit into everyday American life.
Morning
Protein-rich breakfast
Skip the donut and grab eggs, Greek yogurt with nuts, or a protein shake. It helps keep you full and your energy steady until lunch.
Hydrate and take your drops
Drink a glass of water and take your morning serving.
During the day
Build a balanced plate
Pack a lunch with salad greens, grilled chicken or beans, and a small portion of whole grains.
Mind your food order
Eat your salad and protein first, then the bread or rice.
Walk after meals
Take a 10 to 15 minute walk after lunch or dinner, around the office, the block or the mall.
Smart snacks
Keep almonds, cheese sticks, jerky or veggies with hummus handy instead of chips or candy.
Evening
Lighter dinner
Aim for a balanced dinner a few hours before bed, and take your evening serving.
Manage stress
Wind down with a walk, stretching or a hobby instead of scrolling.
Sleep well
Get 7 to 9 hours. Short sleep makes blood sugar harder to manage the next day.
