Portion size is extremely important when it comes to managing diabetes. Consuming the right portion size helps control the amount of carbohydrates, which have the most significant impact on blood sugar levels. When you consume larger portions, it can lead to spikes in blood sugar levels, which can be harmful for people with diabetes.
For more information about diabetes or portion size, you should always speak to your doctor or health coach. You should also check your sugar levels on a regular basis to assess the effectiveness of your diabetes treatment.
