Diet: The Foundation of Glucose StabilityFood Choices That Support Blood Sugar BalanceWhat you eat has the most immediate and significant impact on blood glucose levels. A diet that supports stable blood sugar typically includes:Complex carbohydrates with fiber that slow glucose absorption (whole grains, legumes, vegetables)Adequate protein to moderate blood sugar response and support satiety (15-30g per meal)Healthy fats that slow digestion and improve insulin sensitivity (olive oil, avocados, nuts)Micronutrient-rich foods containing chromium, magnesium, and other minerals essential for glucose metabolismMeal Timing and StructureBeyond what you eat, when and how you eat matters:Regular meal timing helps maintain stable insulin sensitivityStarting meals with protein or vegetables before carbohydrates can reduce post-meal glucose spikesModerate portion sizes prevent overwhelming glucose processing systemsBlood Sugar-Friendly FoodsNon-starchy vegetables (leafy greens, broccoli, peppers)Berries (lower sugar than most fruits)Cinnamon (contains natural compounds that mimic insulin)Apple cider vinegar (improves insulin sensitivity when consumed before meals)Nuts and seeds (provide protein, healthy fats, and fiber)
