Eat more fiber

Fiber slows carb digestion and sugar absorption, thereby promoting a more gradual rise in blood sugar levels

There are two types of fiber — insoluble and soluble.

While both are important, soluble fiber has explicitly been shown to improve blood sugar management, while insoluble fiber hasn’t been shown to have this effect

A high fiber diet can improve your body’s ability to regulate blood sugar and minimize blood sugar lows. This could help you better manage type 1 diabetes

Foods that are high in fiber include:

• vegetables
• fruits
• legumes
• whole grains

The recommended daily intake of fiber is about 25 grams for women and 35 grams for men. That’s about 14 grams for every 1,000 calories
