What are some good things to eat that lowers blood sugar?

Answer 1

I don't understand where everyone is coming from here .
There are NO foods that will lower your blood sugar.
It's not as if eating a veggie salad will lower your sugar.It's just a good thing to eat.

I wish i could eat my way out of this.

Answer 3

I realize that conventional health care is necessary and appropriate. That having been said, there are also many things WE can do to overcome type II diabetes, and improve life as a Type I diabetic. I've been researching alternative medicine, and the amount of help that's available to diabetics is amazing.

Natural remedies are quite effective, and include:

Cinnamon
Bitter Melon
Gymnema Sylvestre
Nopal cactus
American Ginseng
Fenugreek
Chromium picolinate

Cinnamon regulates glucose, and has a polyphenol compound called MHCP that mimics insulin and activates cell receptor sites. A quarter teaspoon twice daily makes a difference. Fenugreek increases blood flow and inhibits the growth of infectious organisms. Everything on the list has a use in fighting diabetes. Learn how to use these herbs and don't fall victim to diabetes needlessly.You can find out about about them on line, or in a book I read cover to cover--

"One Son's Quest for the Cause and Cure of Diabetes", ISBN 7890766313

The author, a doctor, lost his mother to diabetes and spent the next 20 years finding a way to overcome it. My brother was dying of diabetes, and I was just starting to need insulin when we came across this definitive work which came out in February 2005. We both lead mostly normal lives now. It's a life saver, and the best money you'll ever spend on the subject if you decide to go that way.
You might want to check Abe Books, Alibri's, or Amazon.com for a good used copy cheap. I bought mine new, and I think it was about $35. I don't get any money from anybody for telling you this--just want to help, and the techniques in this book is what made the difference for me and mine. Best of luck.

Just recently found this 8-minute non-profit video http://www.rawfor30days.com/view.html , about diabetes diet. Click on the link, then click 'View Windows Media' to watch it.You'll be glad you saw it.

Answer 4

I have diabetes & I've heard that cinnamon is good & I also heard that if you drink vinigar before you eat a meal it will reduce the blood sugar "spike" after the meal. I bought cinnamon capsules @ the local health food store, and take them daily. I have also tried the vinigar thing, but I hate the way vinigar tastes. Good luck!!

Answer 5

High-fiber foods like oats are good. Also The American Diabetes Association recommends figs which are also high in fiber and will satisfy your sweet tooth if you have one.
If you like salads, try using red wine vinegar because of its acidity , you can slow down the digestion of your meal keeping your blood sugar more stable.

Answer 6

Pickles and cinnamon are supposed to help.

You really don't have to AVOID any food, but you must account for everything you eat and you'll want to eat high carb foods in moderation. Rice and any kind of juice can really send blood sugar levels soaring if you don't pay attention to your portion size!

Answer 7

Mostly just supplements like gymnema sylvestre, nopal cactus, fenugreek, cinnamon, bilberry, blueberry leaf extract, and some others. Visit my webpage for more on this plus my recent bloodtest results. I'm not the only one having success with this. Check out Dorothy and Toto's answers in this section. He and I have both found that type two diabetes does not have to be as bad as so many seem to think.
