Prevent High Blood Sugar : Natural remedies to control blood glucose levels

• Check your sugar levels: You should get tested for high blood sugar during an annual physical exam. There are easy to use kits available for home testing as well. Knowing if you are diabetic or pre-diabetic is an important step towards taking the necessary precautions
  
  
• Lose weight: Obesity is considered one of the primary causes of high blood sugar. Harvard University researchers have found obesity causes stress in a system of cellular membranes called endoplasmic reticulum (ER), which in turn causes the endoplasmic reticulum to suppress the signals of insulin receptors, which then leads to insulin resistance. Therefore losing weight is essential in lowering and controlling blood glucose levels.
  
  
• Exercise: Exercise is very beneficial in controlling high blood sugar. It increases insulin sensitivity and helps process blood glucose. It lowers triglycerides and LDL and raises HDL cholesterol levels. It lowers blood pressure, improves cardiovascular health and helps reduce weight.
  
  
• Diet: Change your diet to include foods with carbohydrates and fiber such as whole wheat, beans, legumes and vegetables. Get protein from fish and vegetable sources such as soybeans and spirulina. Eliminate processed foods and sugars as much as possible. Eat several small meals a days instead of two or three big meals.
  
  
• Heed warning signs: If you are urinating frequently, feel lethargic all the time, have trouble with eyesight, tingling or numb sensation in the hands and feet, have itchy skin or have wounds that are taking a long time to heal, you should get yourself checked for high blood sugar. According to Japanese study, a fast heart rate indicates that obesity and diabetes can develop later on.
  
  
• Herbs and spices that help reduce blood sugar: Herbs such as Gymnema, Karela and Neem and spices such as Cinnamon are known to reduce and control blood sugar levels. Incorporate these in your diet as health supplements.
