As such, it is vital for people with diabetes to control their blood sugar levels and keep them within the\u00a0target range.<br \/>\nHere are some ways to naturally lower your blood sugar levels.<br \/>\n1. Regular Exercise:<\/p>\n<p>During physical activity the body needs fuel so, the fuel storage effects of insulin need to be suppressed. This is done primarily by inhibiting insulin secretion during exercise as well as activating local and systemic fuel mobilizing processes. In contrast, following exercise there is a need for refilling the fuel depots mobilized during exercise, particularly the glycogen stores in muscle. This process is facilitated by an increase in insulin sensitivity of the muscles previously engaged in physical activity which directs glucose to glycogen re-synthesis. <\/p>\n<p>2. Managing carbohydrate intake<br \/>\nThe carbohydrate intake strongly influences blood sugar levels.<br \/>\nYour body breaks carbs down into sugars, mainly glucose. Then, insulin helps your body use and store it for energy.<br \/>\nWhen you eat too many carbs or have insulin-function problems, this process fails, and blood glucose levels can rise.<br \/>\nTherefore, you need to manage your carb intake by counting how much you are consuming and how much you need.<br \/>\nA low carb dietary pattern may help a person stabilize and manage their blood sugars.<br \/>\nHowever, this type of eating pattern may not be suitable for everyone. Therefore, before modifying your carbohydrate intake, you may consult a\u00a0healthcare professional\u00a0or a\u00a0dietitian.<\/p>\n<p>3. Eating the right carbohydrate<br \/>\nEat low GI foods:<br \/>\nLow GI foods\u00a0describe those that score\u00a055 or lower\u00a0on the index. These foods include:<br \/>\nsweet potatoes<br \/>\nquinoa<br \/>\nlegumes<br \/>\nlow fat milk<br \/>\nleafy greens<br \/>\nnuts and seeds<br \/>\nmeat<br \/>\nfish<\/p>\n<p>4. Hydration<br \/>\nDrinking enough water could help you keep your blood sugar levels within healthy ranges.<br \/>\nIn addition to preventing dehydration, it helps your kidneys flush out any excess sugar through urine.<br \/>\nAvoid sugar-sweetened options, as these can raise blood glucose, drive weight gain, and increase diabetes risk.<br \/>\n5. Portion control<br \/>\nPortion control can help you regulate your calorie intake and maintain a moderate weight.<br \/>\nConsequently, weight management promotes healthy blood sugar levels and has been shown to reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes.<br \/>\nMonitoring your\u00a0serving sizes\u00a0also helps prevent blood sugar spikes.<br \/>\nHere are some helpful tips for managing portion sizes:<br \/>\nmeasure and weigh your portions<br \/>\nuse smaller plates<br \/>\navoid all-you-can-eat restaurants<br \/>\nread food labels and check the serving sizes<br \/>\nkeep a food journal<br \/>\neat slowly<br \/>\nThough, a doctor or dietitian can offer you a more specific advice on appropriate portion size.<\/p>\n<p>6. Stress management<br \/>\nStress\u00a0has a significant effect on blood sugar levels. The body releases hormones like glucagon and cortisol when it is under stress, and these hormones\u00a0can raise\u00a0blood sugar levels.<br \/>\n7. Get enough sleep<br \/>\nGetting adequate sleep can help with diabetes management. Evidence indicates that most adults should aim for\u00a07 or more hours of sleep per night.<\/p>\n<p>8. Vitamin D<br \/>\nVitamin D could help you lessen your risk of diabetes.<br \/>\nD-deficient people with prediabetes who supplemented with the vitamin benefitted from an improvement in blood glucose levels.<br \/>\nConsult your doctor to know, if you need Vitamin-D supplement or not.<br \/>\nVitamin-D rich foods include: sardines, wild or UV-exposed mushrooms, fortified milk and non-dairy milk.<\/p>\n<p>9. Weight management:<br \/>\nResearch shows that even a 5% reduction in body weight can improve your blood sugar regulation and reduce the need for\u00a0diabetes medication.<\/p>\n<p>#diabetes<br \/>\n#diabetescontrol<br \/>\n#diabetesmellitus<br \/>\n#diabetescare <\/p>\n<p>Medical disclaimer: Medinaz Academy does not provide medical advice.
