Keep Your Eye on the Clock

Keeping your eating and exercise habits on a similar schedule day to day will help keep your blood glucose at healthy levels. Experts suggest these tips:

  • Eat your meals and snacks at about the same times each day.
  • Eat about the same amounts of food each day - don’t have a large lunch one day and a small one the next.
  • Do not skip meals or snacks.
  • Take your medicines at the same times each day. Your prescription will be specific, but, as a rule,
    - take regular, NPH, or Lente insulin 30 minutes before you eat
    - take Humalog insulin lispro just before you eat
    - take diabetes pills before you eat.
  • Exercise at about the same times each day.
