How to Control Diabetes Naturally?

Diet

Cooking for yourself can help you take better care of your diet, nourish your body and in turn help in better management of diabetes control. Cooking is like therapy for a lot of people, but not for others. However, it has been proved that there are many benefits to cooking from the scratch, and here are just some of them to motivate you to get into the kitchen.

- You know exactly what is in the meal and how many carbs there are.

- You know the protein and fat content to adjust your bolus strategy correctly.

- You can adjust the ingredients to make the food easier on your blood sugars, and simpler to manage.

- You can add more fibre, which is usually not found in higher quantities when you opt for take-out or store-bought meals.

- It is easier to make more balanced choices and eat the foods you love without struggling to manage your blood sugar levels

- You can flavour the food to suit your taste buds and enjoy it even more.

You don’t have to cook for yourself every day and all the time, but make an effort to do so at least a few times a week. Use your leftovers as lunches, prep ahead or cook in bulk. Do whatever helps you eat more nutritious home-made meals.

Ayurveda

It’s a known fact that ayurvedic herbs like Gudmar, Methi, Dalchini etc are extremely valuable to help us manage our blood sugar levels. There are plenty of ayurvedic products online for diabetics and pre diabetics that are completely natural and improve overall metabolism to enhance well-being.

Most importantly, these medicines stimulate the release of insulin, which directly regularizes blood sugar levels. It is always recommended to consume them alongside a sugar/ carb free diet and regular workouts to gain the best of results.
