Green and leafy vegetables

Green and leafy vegetables are high in nutrients and low in calories and carbohydrates. Additionally, they have a low glycemic index, which will aid in regulating your blood sugar. Additionally, they include magnesium, a mineral that aids in the proper functioning of your body’s insulin. To your salads, soups, and other foods, you can add Spinach, Karela (Bitter Gourd), Gourd, Broccoli, Kale, or Collard Greens.

Delicious Berries 

Eat berries to fulfill your sweet tooth (Strawberries, Raspberries, Blueberries, and Blackberries). They are rich in Vitamins, Minerals, and Fiber. Consuming low-GI fruit as part of a low-glycemic diet can reduce the risk of high blood pressure and heart disease, along with reducing symptoms of diabetes.

Citrus Fruits

To receive your daily dosage of Vitamin C, snack on citrus fruits like Kiwi, Amla, Mausambi, or Orange. Vitamin C speeds up the metabolism which helps in managing Diabetes. They include a lot of potassium and heart-healthy vitamin folate. Always remember to take the fruit whole rather than the juice. It contains fiber, which will slow digestion and also prevent a blood sugar surge.

Nuts and Seeds

People with diabetes who consume nuts have a lower risk of developing heart disease. They are packed with fiber, protein, and good fats that will keep you full and maintain a stable blood sugar level. Snack on a handful of nuts at least three times per week, whether you choose Chia seeds, Flax seeds, Pumpkin seeds, Peanuts, Almonds, or Walnuts.

Whole grains

Compared to processed carbohydrates like White Bread, Maida, Sooji etc. Whole grains are higher in fiber. Whole grains also have a lower glycemic index than processed carbohydrates, which aids in stabilizing your blood sugar. They also provide vitamins and minerals, such as magnesium, which is good for the heart. Whole grains include Quinoa, Brown Rice, and Whole Oats.

Herbs 

Herbs that benefit in diabetes reversal include Triphala, Giloy, Neem, Garlic, Fenugreek Seeds, Fresh Bilva Leaves, and Cinnamon. They control body fat and metabolism, detoxify the body, lower blood glucose levels, burn calories, are a fantastic source of antioxidants, and offer a host of additional advantages that aid in managing and controlling diabetes.

Beans

Beans are quite nutrient-dense and contain a lot of fiber and protein. They are an excellent source of magnesium and potassium as well. Beans having a low glycemic index, like Kidney beans, Soybeans, and Chickpeas may help diabetics control their GI. Additionally, eating these will help you to feel full for a very long time, which lowers your overall calorie intake.

Diabetes is an ongoing disease that can be reversed but not completely cured. Even if you’re in remission, which means you aren’t taking medication and your blood sugar levels stay in a healthy range, there’s always a chance that symptoms might return. Therefore, it is highly important to continue taking care of your diet and lifestyle.

The key to reversing diabetes is a healthy diet, exercise, and weight loss. Not only can shedding pounds help you manage your diabetes, but sometimes losing enough weight could help you with no symptoms of diabetes.
