Diabetic Diet: How Many Meals a Day? Dietitian Reveals Key to Sugar Control

• Diabetic patients should eat 5 to 6 small meals daily instead of 2 heavy meals, as advised by dietitian Ranjana Singh.
• Frequent, balanced meals provide continuous energy and keep blood sugar levels stable, preventing sudden spikes or drops.
• Breakfast is crucial; skipping it can imbalance blood sugar. Include options like oats, eggs, or sprouts.
• Healthy snacks between meals (fruit, nuts, buttermilk) prevent overeating and sudden hunger.
• Dinner should be light and eaten 2-3 hours before sleep; avoid sugary drinks, refined carbs, and fried foods.
