How can we prevent Diabetes?

High blood glucose level may also be detected in non-diabetics after major meals. In most of us, even when our blood glucose level skyrockets after a carbohydrate rich meal, our body tames it down in 2-3 hours. Only in diabetics, blood glucose levels persist quite high for most of the time. It is possible to prevent diabetes for ever if we plan the calorie content of our diet. Low glycemic-index (GI) meals with low carbohydrate content should be preferred as compared to fast acting high-GI carbohydrates. Green leafy vegetable, citrus fruits, soybeans, kidney beans, green peas, pistachio, peanuts and walnuts are some low-GI food stuffs you can include in your diet. The bread and chapaties made from wholegrain flour do have low-GI. Fruits and vegetable are also packed with vitamins, minerals and fibre. Fruits and vegetables are beneficial to keep the blood glucose levels within the limits of renal threshold. Protein rich meals have low-GI, help to curb hunger and prevent diabetes. Vegetarians may include legumes, nuts, peanut butter and milk to their diet whereas non-vegetarians may take lean meat, fish and poultry products. Acidic foods have been known to tame blood glucose level. Salad and pickles seasoned with vinegar should be taken with major meals for sustainable metabolism with respect to blood glucose level and prevention of diabetes.
