Several factors can cause blood sugar to fall, leading to hypoglycemia. These include skipping meals, too much insulin or diabetes medication, increased physical activity, alcohol consumption.
Flaxseeds, chia seeds, and pumpkin seeds are among the best seeds for diabetes. They're rich in fiber, healthy fats, and essential nutrients.
Ayurvedic herbs like bitter melon, fenugreek, and neem are used traditionally to support diabetes management. Bitter melon may help lower blood sugar levels.
Plant-based proteins like tofu, legumes, and nuts are excellent choices for diabetes. They are rich in fiber, which helps stabilize blood sugar levels.
Yes, you can eat chocolate with diabetes, but in moderation. Choose dark chocolate with higher cocoa content (70% or more) as it has less sugar.
Making healthier food swaps can improve your diet. Replace white rice with brown rice or cauliflower rice for lower carbs. Choose whole-grain bread over white for added fiber.
