Ways to Stabilize Blood sugar

Exercise regularly
Physical activity helps the body to control blood glucose. According to new studies conducted, brisk walking regularly can prolong the lives of people with diabetes. Walking keeps the cells more receptive to insulin, which leads to better control of blood sugar. Half an hour of walking everyday will help to reduce blood sugar levels. It not only helps to absorb sugar, but also increases your metabolism and overall insulin sensitivity.

Drink Green tea
Regular consumption of green tea without sugar helps to reduce the glucose from the blood. If you do not drink green tea, then you also can opt for black tea without sweeteners as well. It has same effect as green tea

Have lemon juice
Lemon contains vitamin C, that can lower the glycemic index of food. Squeeze lemon juice over the food or drink a glass of lemon juice after every meal. Don’t added sugar in it.

Eat smaller portions of food but often
In order to stabilize blood sugar you should eat small portion of balanced meals every 2-3 hours. This helps to avoid blood sugar spikes and a large release of insulin that results after a big meal. It also allows blood sugar to drop a little time in between meals.

Eat high fiber food & Proteins food
Fiber is the undigested part of fruits, grains, nuts, and vegetables. Eating high fiber foods leads to slow absorption of glucose and lower the blood sugar. A diet that includes insoluble fiber has been associated with a decreased risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Protein are also known to degrade the quality of blood sugar. Consuming low-fat dairy products like low-fat milk, cheese, etc. are also very helpful.

Do not miss Chromium
Chromium can help people with type 2 diabetes control their blood sugar. Chromium is an active component of glucose tolerance factor (GTF), which helps insulin improve its action. Some studies report that chromium supplementation may improve diabetes control. The best sources of chromium are eggs, apple and grains.

Laugh
A study conducted by researchers found that people with type 2 diabetes who watch comedy shows and laugh a lot has blood sugar levels significantly lower than those who attend a boring lecture. Laugh significantly pumps blood and keeps the metabolism active.
