STICK TO A BALANCED DIET. If you feel you’re on a trajectory to becoming diabetic, then now is the time to cut out sugary stuff from your diet. The greens and lean proteins now top your list. High-fiber and low-sugar vegetables like carrots, green leafy vegetables, and lean sources of white meat should be included in your nutrition.
Stay away from nuts and seeds due to their high-fat nutritional profile and to limit fruits due to their high-sugar content. Let me correct about the fruits ~ fruits are not bad. It is the excessive intake of fruits per eating time that makes it bad. It is recommended to eat one fruit serving after each meal such as 8 pieces of grapes. One 6-inch banana, half an apple, or 2 segments of pomelo.
BE AN EXERCISE JUNKIE. Replace all forms of sugar with endorphin as a new high. Exercise is a must for diabetics. It is especially important for overweight and obese diabetics to lose weight and burn excess calories.
Exercise lowers high blood sugar by reducing insulin resistance and improving glucose utilization in the muscles and adipose tissues. Aerobic exercising such as brisk walking, stationary biking, cycling, or swimming will produce positive results if done for at least 30-45 minutes a day at least three times a week. Even household chores such as sweeping the front yard or washing your clothes will help normalize blood sugar levels and create enough calorie deficits for weight loss.
