I’m sure that you are here to read this as you have had an alarming call from your body in the form of signs of diabetes. You must have been told that it was predictable as you have a genetic connection to diabetes by means of your parents. Is this statement enough to make you happier? Should you now grab your syringe and have an insulin injection and the rest of task would be handled by insulin itself?

No! I think you are not right; as here is the news that will turn your joy to thrill.

The simple addition of these foods that lower blood sugar level into your meal plan can make you a healthier and normal person. I can bet that you’ll end saying

Where is the sugar???

Grains: Generally grains are said to be best for diabetics. I love to eat oats. Better idea is to go in the super market. You’ll find various bins of different types of granola. Read the labels carefully and check the sugar content. There will be some as low as 4 gm. I’m sure the temptation is to grab the one with 20 gm; as you are suffering from sugar craving because of diabetes. This is the point where your concern for your adrenal glands and blood sugar level must kick in. This concern will definitely help you to pick the one with maximum 8 gm sugar.

Design the breakfast in such a way that it contains foods that lower blood sugar level. Better give your blood a rest from biscuits, pancakes, doughnuts, white bread and some other sugar laden foods.

Here is a nice idea for breakfast

Take 2 handfuls of granola and add it to the half cup of low fat yogurt and ? cup of skimmed milk. You can choose coconut and almond granola; as this mix is loaded with good fat content of almonds and fortified with fiber content of coconut.

Sweet Potato: It is not easy to believe that foods which start with the word sweet bring an impression of joy along with the health benefits. These foods also help to adjust the intensity of sweet tooth. Sweet potato helps to stabilize the blood sugar level. It also enables to respond the hormone that stabilizes the movement of glucose from bloodstream into cells. Beta carotene content of sweet potato has the potential to reverse this insulin resistance of the body. It also contains a good amount of vitamin B6 which then help to keep the diabetics away from diabetic complications.

Just bake the sweet potato in microwave. Add it to salads, make a soup of sweet potato or just stir diced sweet potato into cooked brown rice. Your creativity will certainly take you away from French fries

Snack on nuts: It is better if you roast raw nuts. Roast for 10 minutes in the oven at 425 degrees. Never trust tinned nuts; as you should not trust the source of the oil that has been used. As diabetic you must be thoughtful about the fats that you pour into your body.
