Question from Valinda, California, USA:
What foods lower blood glucose?
Answer:
From: DTeam Staff
There have been some limited studies showing that one to three grams of cinnamon per day can improve lipids and blood sugar control in persons with type 2 diabetes, but I am unaware of any other foods that independently lower blood sugars. Most foods do the opposite and raise blood sugars. Your challenge is to find a combination of carbohydrates, protein and fat that will provide optimal blood sugar control. Speak with your health care team about the possibility of including cinnamon into your meal plan.
