Ans: To control blood glucose levels, follow a diet containing low fat dairy products, whole grains, fruits and vegetables, beans/legumes, low fats and low salt. Avoid sodas and sweet drinks like aerated drinks, tetra pack fruit juices, white bread, jaggery, sugar, packaged snacks etc. that can quickly raise your blood sugar levels. Fruits like banana , chickoo, mangoes, dates, etc. are high in glycemic index. Avoid starchy vegetables like potatoes , Yam, etc. Include a regular exercise schedule to lower your blood glucose levels.
