Diet Guidelines for Basal Insulin -  For people with diabetes, sticking to dietary guidelines can be just as important as proper insulin management. Eating right will play a crucial role in keeping your blood sugar level in check while you sleep, even if you use basal insulin before your evening meal.

Read on to learn how certain carbohydrates, processed foods, healthy fats, and beverages can affect you and your diabetes.
Diet tips-

Generally, it’s best to choose whole, unprocessed foods and avoid highly processed and prepared foods. Foods that are highly processed, such as white breads, pastas, rice, and soda, digest very quickly and spike blood sugar levels. This puts extra stress on the pancreas, which makes the hormone insulin.

Saturated fats have also been associated with insulin resistance. Healthy, unsaturated fats, such as those recommended below, are a better choice. Eating high-fiber foods and mixed meals, not just carbohydrates alone, can help slow digestion and take pressure off the pancreas.

Here are some foods that you can mix and match to create satisfying but healthy dishes for any meal.
Fruits-

Munch on some fruit for fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Choose fresh or frozen fruits. Canned varieties without added sugars are fine in a pinch, but they don’t have the fiber that fresh and frozen fruits do since the skins are removed. Go for fruits that are higher in fiber, such as apples, berries, bananas, grapes, plums, and peaches. Avoid fruit juices since they can raise blood sugar as quickly as regular soda.
