These food will help you to control the blood sugar levels in the body

Diabetes is one of the deadliest diseases in the world. Every year millions of people across the globe die because of diabetes. It is becoming one of the biggest health scares around the world. Diabetes can happen to anyone, it's a condition in which the blood sugar levels are abnormally high. The spike in blood sugar occurs either because the body is not producing enough insulin, or it is not able to respond well to the produced insulin. 

People who suffer from diabetes need to be extra careful of their diet. Food items that are high in fibre content should be included in the diet, since fibre enables the slow release of sugar in the bloodstream that prevents abnormal spikes. And people who are suffering from diabetes should include these foods in their diet. These ingredients are easily available in every Indian kitchen. 

Ragi/ finger millet:

Research states that diabetics should consume at least half of their grains as whole grains. Diabetics should refrain from consuming rice and wheat and should include ragi in the diet. Ragi is not processed, consumed whole and is packed with fibre and nutrition. Ragi also contains calcium and essential amino acids, which are also helpful in managing diabetes.

Radish:

Radish is an excellent source of fibre. Have them in salads or parathas. It tastes the best when paired with other seasonal vegetables in salads along with a dash of lemon. 

Bhindi/Okra:

Bhindi is one vegetable that is widely consumed by everyone in the Indian household. A powerhouse of antioxidants and minerals, eating bhindi will help you manage diabetes naturally. It is non-starchy and also has a low glycemic index. It's packed with nutrients like fibre, vitamin B and folate. The soluble fibre in bhindi helps to stabilise blood sugar levels. 

Karela/bitter gourd:

Many may not like it, but karela not only helps with weight loss, it also helps to manage blood sugar levels. Karela has a bitter-astringent taste. It contains an insulin-like compound called Polypeptide-p or p-insulin, which has been shown to control diabetes naturally. 

Buckwheat/ Kuttu:

This grain is generally used to prepare meals for fast. It's a healthy gluten-free pseudo-grain, which contains slow-release carbohydrates that help maintain steady blood sugar levels. Kuttu also has a low glycemic index, which makes it an excellent diabetic-friendly food. 

Add these food items to your diet along with the prescribed medicines.
