Carb Counting:
Count your carbohydrate intake daily. You may want to use a website such as myfitnesspal.com to do this.
Avoid foods that are high in sugar such as:
Flavored yogurt
Ice cream
Juice
Dried fruit
Syrup-packed canned fruit
Fruit spread (jams, jellies)
Baked goods (cookies, cake, pastry)
Candy
Crackers
Sugar-sweetened cereals
Sweetened drinks (soft drinks, sweetened drink mixes, Kool-Aid®)
Sweeteners (sugar, honey, molasses, syrup)
Portion Control:
Even healthy foods, such as large portions of fruit, will cause your blood glucose to rise if you eat too much.
