Insulin is a hormone produced by small groupings of cells called the islets of Langerhans in the pancreas. Insulin regulates the amount of sugar, or glucose, in your blood. Diabetics generally suffer from one of the two main forms of diabetes; either the pancreas does not produce enough insulin or the cells are resistant to insulin and unable to absorb glucose from the bloodstream. In both cases, it is not a matter of restoring insulin production, you must manage the available insulin.
1.Break your meals into smaller meals spaced through the day. Rather than breakfast, lunch and dinner, enjoy six small meals at 2- to 3-hour intervals. By spacing your meals through the day, your body has time to break down and absorb the nutrients, proteins and carbohydrates. This maintains an even level of glucose in your bloodstream, taking some of the stress off of your pancreas.
2. Add 1 hour of exercise to your daily routine. Walking 15 minutes in the morning, 15 minutes at lunch and 30 minutes after dinner is an easy way to incorporate exercise into your life. Exercise helps lower your blood sugar and reduces your cells' resistance to insulin.
3.Reduce your blood sugar by incorporating complex sugars, or carbohydrates, in your diet. Complex sugars include fiber-filled foods such as beans, grains, legumes and fresh fruits and vegetables. Your digestive system breaks down and absorbs complex sugars slowly, allowing your pancreas to produce insulin at an even rate.
4. Add brewer's yeast to your diet plan. Brewer's yeast is rich in chromium and B-complex vitamins. Chromium may help reduce blood sugars while B-complex vitamins work in the body to break down carbohydrates, fats and proteins for energy.
5. Sprinkle cinnamon over your desserts or in beverages. who takes in 1, 3 or 6 g. of cinnamon daily had a small reduction in their fasting blood sugar.
6.Drink at least eight glasses of water daily. Keeping your body hydrated helps all your organs function properly.
