Certain foods can help reduce blood sugar spikes quickly and support long-term glucose control. Let’s explore the top 7!
1
Rich in soluble fiber, fenugreek slows carb absorption and improves insulin sensitivity. Best soaked overnight and taken on an empty stomach
2
Jamun seeds contain jamboline and jambosine, which slow starch-to-sugar conversion. Regular intake improves glucose tolerance
3
Ceylon cinnamon mimics insulin and enhances glucose transport. Just 1g daily can significantly reduce blood sugar
4
Okra’s mucilage slows sugar absorption in the gut. Drinking okra-infused water may help stabilize post-meal glucose
5
Bael leaves contain compounds that may stimulate insulin release. Traditionally used in rural India for diabetes care
6
High in fiber and omega-3s, chia seeds slow digestion and reduce sugar spikes. Great in smoothies or soaked overnight
7
Low in sugar and high in antioxidants, berries like blueberries and strawberries help reduce insulin resistance
