Food that will help keep blood sugar from going to low?

Answer 1

Foods with a little fat and protein will help sustain blood sugar.

When you have hypoglycemia, a fast-acting simple sugar food is best to bring it up. Then follow with a little fat/protien to sustain. Little prepackaged peanut butter crackers are good for this.

Answer 2

It depends on your situation. If you are a diabetic on insulin, then low blood sugar needs HIGH GI, sugar filled foods. Cola, lollies, etc. If you get low a lot, you need to look at your insulin use and consider a change in dose.

If you are suffering hypoglycemia (without diabetes) then your best bet is to avoid high GI foods all together. That means all carb-heavy foods such as bread, potatoes (chippies too), rice & pasta. If you eat a good balanced diet with slow acting carbs (mostly vegetables) then your pancreas can't over-react, sending you low. You wont have to avoid them all the time, but be prepared to eat something a couple of hours later any time you do eat higher GI foods.

Either way, low blood sugar means you need some high carb food to get you back up - and a good diet (and carefully balanced insulin if you are diabetic) and some planning & education will help give you the balance you need to avoid more lows.

Answer 3

eating properly will stop blood sugar going low, if you take extra exercise, eat a little more, you don't need sugar filled foods, just regular health food.

When I am feeling a little hypo, getting the early warning signs, I drink a glass of milk with a couple of biscuits, or slice of toast and this usually helps, although being hypo is a pretty good excuse to eat a Mars Bar lol !

Answer 4

Anything with sugar in it.

Like ... sugar.

However, in order to have slow release of sugars into the blood stream it is better to have "Low GI" food. These are foods with complex carbohydrates which will cause a slow and steady release of sugar, rather than having a large sugar load which usually causes a high insulin secretion response and this in turn causes a low blood sugar later on.

Answer 5

Peanut butter and jelly sandwich on whole wheat bread
Cheese and crackers
Bean soup
Meat and cheese sandwich
Hot dogs
pasta with sauce and cheese
apples with peanut butter
bananas
pears
grapes
blueberries
cereal
yogurt
cheese
meat

will all hold blood sugars after eating. Certainly you need to keep a log.
