7. You Can Eat Whatever You Want If You Adjust Your Medication

Learning to carefully measure and adjust your medication is important, but it won’t replace good food choices. Although you may know how to match your type and amount of insulin to the food you’re eating, it can be very dangerous to simply bump up your dosage if you want to indulge in a big meal of carbohydrates. Diabetes medications work best when taken consistently, as your doctor has prescribed, and so you shouldn’t stray from the plan. Instead, keep your menu in the healthy zone and your carbohydrates under control to avoid negative reactions.
