Safety for Diabetics

Mozzarella Cheese, Mexican Style Beef Topping, Cheddar Cheese, Tomatoes, Black Olives, Red Bell Peppers, Red Onion Drafthaus Original The Fiesta Taco Michelada, The Fiesta Taco Michelada (Hansen's Dairy, Inc.) is manageable for most people with diabetes at the portions shown above, but caution generally increases as control worsens — notice how the safety rating and portion size change from the well-controlled row to the poorly-controlled row in the table.

Beyond blood sugar

Carbohydrate is not the only thing on this page worth a look:

• A serving carries roughly 881 mg of sodium — about 44% of the 2,000 mg many guidelines suggest as a daily ceiling. Blood pressure matters more than usual in diabetes, so this is worth knowing even though it has no direct effect on blood glucose.

Blood Sugar & Insulin Considerations

Every food that raises blood sugar also has some bearing on insulin needs, whether that insulin comes from your own pancreas or an injection. Rather than memorising numbers for every food, many people find it easier to lean on a tool at the moment of eating. This is exactly the gap Flona is built for: it helps estimate the carbohydrate in a portion like the one above and supports your insulin decision — basal, rapid-acting, mixed or meal-based — without replacing the judgement of your physician or diabetes care team.

• Where possible, eat this food earlier in the day rather than late at night, when insulin sensitivity is typically lower.
