When you have diabetes, your primary goal is to avoid complications and keep your diabetes under control.
Here are some simple key changes to help you control your diabetes:
- Increase your soluble fiber intake:
Soluble fiber means fiber that dissolve in water. To add more soluble fiber to your diet:
- Make a hearty soup with broth and carrots, barley, peas, and beans
- Snack on apples, oranges, or grapefruit
- Watch your carb intake:
Low carb diets can help you reduce your blood sugar levels and prevent blood sugar spikes. Hence, stay away from white bread, rice, and pasta which are high in carbs.
- Exercise regularly
Exercising regularly decreases insulin resistance and consequently your blood sugar levels will become more stable. Aim for 4 to 6 periods of activity each week. Try to make each period last for at least 30 minutes.
- Lose excess weight:
Having excess fat in the body affects the production of insulin and increases your insulin resistance, where your body cannot properly use this hormone to process sugar.
