People with diabetes may appropriately consume barley grass powder, preferably when their blood glucose levels are stable. Individuals with diabetes should maintain a balanced diet, eat smaller meals more frequently, and avoid picky eating habits, as these can cause significant blood glucose fluctuations and hinder glycemic control. In daily life, patients can engage in suitable physical activities and ensure adequate sleep.
