10 Foods That Lower Blood Sugar
Food #5: Blueberries
Fruits can be tricky when it comes to diabetes. Some fruits have a high GI, and unfortunately should be avoided or consumed minimally for some diabetics. However, blueberries and blackberries won’t raise your blood sugar levels as much as some other fruits. In addition, blueberries and blackberries are high in fiber, which will help with satiety and slowing the absorption of food.
To continue, one study reported that adding blueberries to smoothies helped improve insulin sensitivity. When it comes to fruit, all berries are low on the GI score. This includes strawberries, raspberries, and blackberries. Thus, if you are unsure which fruits fit a low glycemic diet, grab something from the berry family.
