    They are

Beans
  • Beans are ideal plant based food rich in
    fiber. The fiber in beans helps you manage your
    sugar levels appropriately providing steady and
    slow burning energy.

Berries
  • They are an excellent source of quercetin, a
    flavonoid, which helps reduce blood sugar levels.
    Rich in fiber they are the most sugar friendly
    fruits and it doesnt hurt that they taste good
    too!

Chocolate
  • Incredibly enough chocolate can also help you
    balance your blood sugar levels! Cacao, raw
    unsweetened chocolate, improves your blood sugar
    levels. Loaded with vitamins, minerals, and
    powerful antioxidants, be on the lookout for raw
    cacao beans, nibs or powder.

Cinnamon

    have a healing effect on the pancreas. Studies
    show that just a ½ teaspoon of cinnamon a day
    improves insulin sensitivity.

9
Oatmeal
  • The breakfast favorite! The fiber in oatmeal
    helps curb appetite, decreases high cholesterol
    and balances your sugar levels.

10
Sweet Potatoes
  • Deceivingly sweet yet sweet potatoes are a
    rich source of complex carbs, which help to slow
    the release of glucose in your blood stream that
    can cause mood and energy imbalances.

11
Vinegar
  • Vinegar is usually used for salad dressing,
    but it also has a pronounced effect on blood
    sugar levels. It prevents some dietary starches
    (which raise your blood sugar level) from being
    digested.

12
Broccoli
  • If you want to lose weight, then try eating
    broccoli a few times a week. Broccoli has a great
    amount of essential dietary fiber, vitamins and
    minerals, which fills up your tummy.

13
Spinach
  • Add plenty of nonstarchy vegetables such as
    spinach to your diet, diabetes experts say. These
    foods are high in fiber and low in carbohydrates,
    which make them ideal for people with diabetes.

  • Diabetes is the imbalance in blood sugar and
    the impairment of insulin resistance. Insulin is
    similar to a knob of the fuel tank which
    automatically closes down when the entire tank
    fills. In our body the fuel tank is cells and
    insulin allows a certain level of sugar to pass
    on the cells. But owing to our irregular diet and
    hectic lifestyle, increased blood sugar readings
    are growing.
