10. Cinnamon. Believe it! Amazingly, just by sprinkling cinnamon on your foods, you could lower your blood sugar. Components in cinnamon help the body use insulin more efficiently, so more glucose can enter cells. A recent study found that in people with diabetes, just 1/2 teaspoon a day can significantly lower blood sugar levels. So go ahead and add powdered cinnamon to your whole wheat toast, oatmeal, baked apples, or even chicken dishes. Or soak a cinnamon stick in hot water to make a soothing and curative cup of cinnamon tea.

Pre-diabetic - eat a healthier diet and lose weight. Limit carbohydrates to correct serving sizes. I found that by adding more foods other than carbs I have been able to control my blood sugars and keep my weight down. Good luck!

There is widespread acknowledgement that carbs play a role in controlling blood glucose, but carbohydrate foods also contain nutrients (vitamins, minerals, and phytonutrients) that can help to regulate appetite, blood sugar, and weight. The keys are: amount, form, and timing. Modest amounts of whole grains and whole fruits do not give high blood sugar. Replacing rice or potatoes with barley, legumes or sweet potatoes can help control prevent diabetes. Eating at regular intervals also helps.
