00:00Carbohydrates do not have to be eliminated to help manage blood sugar.
00:03A doctor says pairing carbs with protein, fiber, and healthy fats can reduce glucose spikes.
00:10For example, white bread can be paired with vegetables, olive oil, and a protein such as salmon.
00:16This combination may help keep blood sugar more stable than eating bread alone.
00:20The type of carbohydrate also matters.
00:23Complex carbs, including whole-grain bread, cereals, and barley, break down more slowly.
00:28That can provide steadier energy and reduce sharp rises and crashes.
00:32The article also recommends limiting refined grains and added sugars.
00:37Meal timing may matter as well.
00:39Insulin sensitivity is lower at night, making the body less efficient at responding to blood sugar increases.
00:45Research cited in the article found that eating late can worsen glucose variability.
00:50Planning balanced meals and avoiding late-night eating may therefore support steadier blood sugar throughout the day.
