Certain things that you need to keep in mind as a high blood sugar patient is that by frisking meals one does not lower the chances of blood sugar but rather push the glucose levels in the body. By skipping meals one tends to gorge on food further leading into overweight problems. People with Type 2 diabetes have a liver problem of not sensing when the blood has sufficient amount of glucose.

As a result, it starts to pour more and more glucose into blood. Hence, eating something that has little carbohydrate indicates the liver to stop sending glucose into the bloodstream and therefore results in controlling your blood sugar level.

The required fibers, vitamins and minerals are not present in low carbohydrate diets. These diets provide poor energy and massive headaches. Some evocative foods are grains and fruits.

Constance Brown-Riggs, a CDE, CDN and author of the popular series ‘The African American Guide to Living Well with Diabetes' indicates that portions of foods can be managed by spreading over the entire day and health teams should worked with diabetic people to get individual meals, exercises and medication plans.

Here is some good news, for all pasta-lover diabetic people. Pasta can be taken but provided they are not overcooked. This is because with time they become soft and lose their form. Due to this, they release glucose more readily and provide a surge in glucose levels in blood. David J. A. Jenkins, a PhD working at the University of Toronto has said that starchy foods should be cooked properly but not overcooked.

The next suggestion to all those people who are suffering from increased blood sugar levels is that they can have shakes and bars that are meant specifically for diabetic people.

Green tea is not proven in studies. Therefore, totally depending on it can lead to false impressions with inaccurate results. Further as Laura Shane-McWhorter, Pharma.D, a professor at the University Of Utah College Of Pharmacy and a renowned author of ‘The American Diabetes Association Guide to Herbs and Nutritional Supplements' suggests that green tea extracts have led people into liver toxicity and therefore should be eluded. The debate caters to only extracts and not beverages.
