A report from Verywell Health dated September 20, 2026, discusses meal-planning techniques that may assist in minimizing blood sugar fluctuations and crashes. Dr. Sohaib Imtiaz, the chief medical officer, suggests combining carbohydrates with proteins, fibers, and healthy fats instead of completely eliminating carbs. The article emphasizes the importance of complex carbohydrates, such as whole grains and barley, while recommending a decrease in refined grains and added sugars. It also notes that meal timing is crucial, as insulin sensitivity tends to diminish during the night, resulting in extended glucose spikes from late eating. These methods could promote more stable blood sugar levels throughout the day.

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.
