Abnormal glucose Teaching 2299
SN instructed patient on diabetes and nutrition. If you take diabetes pills or insulin, your meal plan should have about the same number of calories every day. Meals should be spaced throughout the day. It’s important not to skip meals or “double up” on meals. A dietitian can help with your meal plan. The dietitian will take into account your schedule and foods you like and dislike. Each person is different, so every meal plan is different.
