Understanding How Food Affects Blood Sugar

Type 2 diabetes affects how your body uses glucose. An adapted diet can significantly improve your glycemic control and reduce your medication needs.

Key Principles

Favor Complex Carbohydrates

Low glycemic index carbohydrates (legumes, whole grains) release their energy gradually, avoiding blood sugar spikes.

Smart Combining

Pairing proteins, fiber, and healthy fats at each meal slows carbohydrate absorption.

Distribute Your Intake

Regular, balanced meals maintain stable blood sugar throughout the day.

Our Personalized Approach

Every diabetic patient is unique. We create a meal plan adapted to your tastes, culture, and lifestyle, without ever making you feel deprived.

Insurance Reimbursement

As an INAMI registered dietitian, your consultations are partially reimbursed. Contact your insurance provider to learn about your coverage.
