RecommendationWhyGet started
Choose foods with fibreStabilise your blood sugar by eating fibre from whole grains, beans and other pulses, vegetables, and fruit in small, frequent meals.
Try a high-protein, low-carb dietSome doctors have seen good results with high-protein (more meat or soya), low-carbohydrate diets (less pasta, breads, and pastries), particularly among people who do not improve with a high-fibre, high-complex-carbohydrate diet.
Cut out caffeineEven modest amounts of caffeine may increase hypoglycaemia symptoms, so avoid all caffeinated drinks, such as coffee, tea, and some fizzy drinks.
