To keep your blood sugar levels from getting too low, never go more than 5 waking hours without a meal or a snack. If you don't plan on waking up in the night to have a snack and check your insulin levels, you should also eat something right before bed. This will make sure that your body never goes too long without what it needs.
Taking care of your teeth is extremely important when you have diabetes. When you have high levels of glucose in your system, you will also have that in your saliva which will bring about tooth decay. When you have diabetes, it is harder for you to fight any type of infection, so if you get gum disease it will be more serious than if a healthy person develops it.
