    *The number of meals must be adapted to the insulin injection protocol. Ideally, each meal must be given in such a way that the postprandial period corresponds to the maximum period of activity of the insulin.

    Key Points

    • Incorporating cereals with a low glycemic index to smooth out the postprandial hyperglycemic peak
    • Intake of soluble and insoluble fiber to help regulate glycemia
    • Reducing the fat content due to the risk of subclinical pancreatitis
