Ans: A diet to reduce blood sugar levels should include high fiber and complex carbohydrates like whole grains, vegetables, fruits, beans, pulses, etc. Foods to avoid include simple carbohydrates, which are processed, such as sugar, pasta, white bread, flour, and cookies, pastries, and namkeens. Protein foods should be had in every meal. Starchy or root vegetables should be eaten in moderation along with other fiber rich veggies. High glycemic index foods should be restricted. Adopt regular exercise.
