Home Remedies To Control Blood Sugar Levels
Consume More Dairy Products
Avoid white flour based products at all costs! These simple carbohydrates are full of sugar that spike up your blood sugar. Instead, you should consume whole wheat or rye products that are high in fiber, protein and complex carbohydrates, which control blood glucose levels and keep you full longer.
Magnesium is a mineral known to help prevent the onset of Type II diabetes and should be consumed as much as possible. It is best to consume natural sources of magnesium such as spinach, fish, nuts, leafy greens and avocados. All of these foods have been proven to lower the risk of diabetes and can even aid in weight loss.
Cardamom is a member of the ginger family of spices and is used both in sweet preparations and in pulao and biryani ( rice preparations). The spice is known to regulate Type II diabetes and can be sprinkled on coffee, tea, yogurt and even cereal. The spice is known to help decrease blood glucose levels by eighteen to thirty percent.
The protein and fat in dairy products
helps improve blood sugar levels, and if the products are low in fat,
it has been shown that they can also decrease the chances for developing
insulin resistance.

Buckwheat is an excellent source of fiber and does wonders for maintaining
healthy blood sugar levels. Buckwheat comes in the form of soba noodles,
which are a delicious substitute for rice or pasta, as well as in a
number of powders that can be added to baked goods or even on top of a
slice of (whole wheat) bread.
Watch Fat Intake
It is best to have a small meal and then another small meal (or a second half of the regular sized meal) later on (at half hour intervals). It is also important to eat regularly so that insulin levels don't spike, but remain stable throughout the day.
It is important to watch the amount
of saturated fats one consumes because these can seriously increase
the chances of contracting diabetes. Saturated fats are usually found
in fried and junk foods as they are cooked in unhealthy oils.
Exercising each day is critical to maintaining normal blood sugar levels, even if it's a brisk walk in the park.
Laughter- It was found that those who laugh have
lower blood sugar levels than those who don't laugh enough (this means
you should keep reading our jokes!).
Grapefruit aids in weight loss as it affects the glucose metabolism, keeping insulin levels steady.
Building muscle mass is important for
burning more glucose out of your system. Training once to twice a week
could significantly aid in preventing the occurrence of diabetes.
Decaffeinated coffee slows down the rate
at which the intestines absorb sugars and speeds up the absorption of
sugar by the muscles.

Loss Of Sleep can affect blood sugar
and insulin levels so it is important to get enough sleep each night. It
is also essential to stop snoring because according to some studies,
those who snore are more likely to develop diabetes (because snoring is
often tied to being overweight).
Relaxation in any form is very important- hearing music, yoga, meditation, as it helps to keep the sugar level down.
