The following are some foods that can help control blood sugar levels:
1. Whole grains: such as oats, brown rice, and whole wheat bread, which are rich in dietary fiber and help stabilize blood sugar levels.
2. Legumes: including black beans, red beans, and chickpeas, which are rich in protein and fiber, and are digested slowly, helping to control blood sugar spikes.
3. Nuts and seeds: such as almonds, walnuts, and flaxseeds, which contain healthy unsaturated fats and fiber, increasing satiety and helping to stabilize blood sugar.
4. Leafy green vegetables: such as spinach, kale, and lettuce, which are low in calories and high in fiber, helping to maintain blood sugar balance.
5. Berries: such as blueberries, strawberries, and raspberries, which contain natural sugars but are rich in fiber, satisfying sweet cravings without causing sharp increases in blood sugar.
Although these foods can help control blood sugar, it is important to maintain an overall balanced diet and appropriate portion sizes.
