Eating Six Times a Day on a Diet to Lower Blood SugarManaging blood glucose levels can be a difficult process often leading to less than ideal outcomes for diabetics. According to a “Diabetes Care” study, a little over half of diabetics have been able to reach their average blood glucose goals between 1988 and 2010. Could frequent, small meals be a key to more stable blood glucose control?
Insulin Resistance  Diabetics struggle with insulin resistance, which is the condition that causes blood glucose levels to be abnormally high hours after consuming meals, according to Kathleen Mahan and Sylvia Escott-Stump, authors of “Krause’s Food and Nutrition Therapy.” A number of factors, including physical activity, types of foods eaten and overall portion sizes, influence blood glucose levels. The American Diabetes Association advises eating smaller, more frequent meals instead of eating the more traditional two to three meals, citing benefits such as more stable blood glucose and better appetite control, which leads to a lower calorie intake.
Frequent Meals and Blood Glucose  A study in the “Diabetes Care” compared glucose response in participants receiving two different meal patterns: group A received six small, equal calorie meals while group B received two larger meals. Even though total daily calorie counts were equal for each group, it was observed that group A's average peak glucose value was 84 percent lower than group B's. The researchers from Horsens Hospital in Denmark noted that not only was glucose control much improved in group A, insulin levels of this group were also significantly lower.
Sample Menu  Consuming six meals daily does require some planning to assure that healthy meals and snacks are available throughout the day; adhering to this regimen means eating something small every two to three hours, as noted by the 2008 “Diabetes Forecast” article. What follows is a sample menu plan based on a daily diet of 2000 calories. Breakfast might include a high fiber bowl of cereal with a banana and tomato juice, which all total approximately 400 calories. Follow this two-and-a-half hours later with almonds and yogurt with fresh berries, which total about 300 calories. A mid-day lunch might include a turkey sandwich on whole wheat bread with an apple, which total about 400 calories. Following lunch, a mid-afternoon snack consisting of about 300 calories could include a granola bar and an orange. Dinner is served two to three hours later. Pan-seared salmon, steamed veggies and a side salad have about 350 calories in total. Follow with an evening snack two hours later. Have a 250-calorie smoothie made with soy milk, fresh berries and banana.
Considerations  It is still important for diabetics to make healthy food selections when frequently eating small meals. Make high fiber foods such as vegetables, fruits, whole grains and lean proteins the foundation of your diet, while keeping in mind portion sizes and overall calorie intake. Always consult your physician before making any significant changes to your diet. |
