Protein is fantastic for blood sugar control – make sure you have it with every meal. Don’t forget your protein at breakfast; eat something like an egg, yogurt or lean meat (or plant-based protein such as nut butter and chia seed overnight oats).

The same goes for your lunches or your dinners which are your main meals; have some good protein and some vegetables.

The mid-afternoon snack is really important too – avoid over-processed, sugary snacks. Adding foods containing B vitamins for energy will also help. Some of the best sources for this can be found in grains, rye bread and nuts.
