Diabetic Clarity


               The first thing you’ll need to do is eliminate refined carbohydrates and
               simple sugars from your diet.  Be sure to eliminate white bread, white
               pasta and white rice from your diet too since these are also made of
               refined grains.  They also don’t have any nutritional value to them and
               cause blood sugar levels to increase significantly quickly.

               They have nothing – like fiber – that allows the body to hold onto
               them and keep you fuller longer and maintain a steady blood sugar
               level.

               Rather than eating foods with refined carbs, go with complex
               carbohydrates that ensure the body slowly digests them and can
               control the blood sugar levels and stop the spikes in blood glucose.

               If you’re going to reverse your diabetes, you also need to reduce your
               sugar consumption intake. Sugar plays a huge role in blood sugar
               levels, which is why it’s so important to reduce how much sugar you
               take in.

               Add Fiber

               Another way to naturally reverse your diabetes is to add fiber to it.
               Fiber can help in the slow the digestion process down, which reduces
               the chances of spikes in blood sugar.

               Along with fiber, you need to add in complex carbohydrates (as noted
               above). Some great sources of fiber include vegetables, fruits, beans
               and legumes.

               Soluble fiber is seen in many different types of food, and once
               consumed and combined with water, becomes gel-like. This gel-like
               substance slows down how quickly it goes through the digestive tract,
               which allows for the control over blood sugar levels.

               Fiber is also necessary for any weight loss routine you take up. Fiber
               will keep you fuller for longer, which means you won’t overeat. This is
               a good thing for diabetics, as most of them are overweight or obese.

               The fiber will help in reducing their appetite, allowing them to lose
               weight while also controlling their blood sugar levels.
