CONTROLLING YOUR BLOOD SUGAR LEVELS

EAT HEALTHY

Choose foods that are rich in fiber and low in fat. Avoid processed foods that are heavy and full of bad carbs.

Including leafy greens and fruits in your diet can help maintain your glucose level.

But remember that some fruits can actually cause your blood sugar to spike.

GET ACTIVE 

The worst thing about being diabetic is that if you don't get the physical activity you need, your body will break down eventually.

Take regular walks. Walking or jogging 25 minutes every day can cut down your blood sugar levels. It also prevents your glucose levels from spiking.

Swimming and riding your bike can also help. You could also take up a sport. If you can't do long workouts, break them down into shorter bursts.

LOSE WEIGHT

If you're overweight, you need to lose 7% of your body fat.

For example: If you're 200 pounds (90kg) you will need to lose 14 pounds (6.4kg). st if you are pregnant.

Diabetes isn't easy to live with, but with proper care, you can manage your health.

Taking enzymatic supplements can also help promote gut health since diabetics have a weak immune system.
