Carbs are not the enemy, but portions matter. The CDC explains that carb counting can help people manage blood sugar and that one carb serving is about 15 grams of carbohydrates.
5. Avoid drinking sugar
Sugary drinks can raise blood sugar quickly. Limit soda, sweet tea, fruit juice, energy drinks, and sweetened coffee drinks. Choose water, sparkling water without sugar, or unsweetened tea.
6. Walk after dinner
A gentle 10–20 minute walk after eating may help the body use glucose better. You do not need intense exercise; consistency matters more.
