Symptoms of high sugar levels can be caused by frequent thirst and hunger, frequent urination, tingling, difficult to heal wounds and pins and needles.
There are several easy steps to lower blood sugar naturally. In fact, we often don’t even realize it.
Here’s an easy way to lower blood sugar:
- Control food portions
Efforts to limit food portions can reduce calorie intake and prevent spikes in blood sugar. Get used to eating small portions slowly and always read the number of calories on packaged food labels before consuming them.
- Avoid fatty foods and sweet foods
Foods with lots of fat or sugar are not recommended for diabetics. Among them are fried foods, processed foods, canned fruit, butter, candy, and ice cream.
Consuming certain foods that contain fat can be excluded if processed using healthy oil or low-fat milk.
- Don’t skip meals
Eat regularly 3 times a day. This method is quite effective for lowering blood sugar levels. Skipping a meal can result in a spike in blood sugar levels at the next meal. Fruits are highly recommended to be consumed by diabetics.
- Increase fiber intake
The fourth way is to increase fiber intake. Please note that fiber can slow the absorption of sugar from food, so that blood sugar levels do not rise quickly.
Fiber intake can be obtained through fruits, vegetables, and nuts.
- Drink lots of water
Water has the natural property of lowering blood sugar, in addition to filling the body with fluids and reducing thirst.
