The life activity of the human body is impossible without glucose, especially as our brain needs it as oxygen! Glucose allows all organs to function optimally, but certain problems in the body lead to the fact that the level of insulin in the blood, responsible for the splitting of the ingoing organism along with the sugar's food for glucose and fructose, increases or decreases. Such a disease is called diabetes.
Today we learn what products that reduce( normalizing the content) sugar in the blood allow us to stay healthy, cheerful and cheerful.
See what happens: a person eats food rich in carbohydrates, the body processes it and extracts useful substances. That's right, glucose gets into the blood. It is here that the pancreas that produces a special hormone insulin, which converts sugar into glucose in the blood and makes energy for the vital activity of the cells of the body, does its work.
But with an increase or decrease in the level of insulin in the blood, a person becomes unwell, the body fails. Avoid this pathological condition allows certain products.

What should be the norm of sugar in the body?
Before you understand what foods to use to lower blood sugar, you need to understand the indicators that are considered the norm.
In the seventies of the last century, medicine has advanced to a sufficient level to identify and link some of the health problems of a person with the level of glucose in his blood. It was at that time that a technique was developed to detect the level of sugar in the blood.
For the tests, the patient takes blood from the finger or from the vein.
Blood is checked by certain chemical reagents, when exposed to blood, it will change color. On it with the help of photoelectromotors it is possible to determine the intensity of the color of the liquid and the level of glucose in the blood.
This blood test should be performed on an empty stomach as any eaten product can change this indicator.
Now you can check your blood glucose level at home. For this, an apparatus such as the glucometer is used. With its help, people with diabetes can monitor the condition of their blood.
Normal levels of glucose in the capillary blood are the following:
- up to 60 years - 5.9 mmol per liter;
- in children under 14 years of age - from 2.8 to 5.6 mmol per liter;
- is over 60 years old - from 4.6 to 6.4 mmol per liter.
It should be taken into account that the rate of glucose in the venous blood can reach the upper limit, and when taking a capillary blood, the norm may be slightly lower.
Foods that reduce sugar levels: table - list
Any product consumed by a person has a certain glycemic index, according to which the rate of glucose release from it is calculated upon ingestion. People with diabetes can not eat foods that cause sudden jumps in blood glucose levels. Therefore, they need to give preference to products with a low glycemic index.
All products are divided into three types.

Below you can see a table showing the glycemic indexes of the most common products.
Nutrition rules for lowering the sugar level
Nutrition greatly influences the level of sugar in the blood. After any meal, sugar in the blood rises for a certain time. The normal rate for this process is 8.9 mmol per liter an hour after meals and 6.7 mmol per liter.
To smoothly lower blood sugar levels or just keep it at a proper level, it is necessary to gradually exclude foods with a glycemic index above 50.
It is also important to drink two liters of clean drinking water per day, exercise daily, monitor your weight,consumption of coffee, if necessary, it can be replaced with chicory, you can include in the diet dishes with Jerusalem artichoke.
It is important not only to check the blood sugar level in a timely manner( at least twice a year), but also not to allow its sharp jumps.
How should I eat with type 1 diabetes?
Type 1 diabetes is a serious disease. In this case, the human body can not independently produce insulin. Therefore, it is necessary to constantly make insulin injections. This type of diabetes is also called insulin-dependent.
In case of diabetes of the first type it is important to observe a certain diet in order to avoid sudden jumps in blood sugar level. The food should be balanced.
However, sugar and sweet( jam, ice cream, sweets), salinity, smoked products, pickled vegetables, fatty dairy products, packaged juices, soda, fat broths, flour products and pastries, fruit should be excluded from the diet.
In this case, you can include in the diet products from whole-grain flour, compotes from dried fruits, jelly, fruit drinks, natural juices without sugar, honey, vegetable broths, non-sweet vegetables and fruits, any seafood, cereals, dairy products and low-fat dairy products. But the number of acceptable products should be limited.
Nutrition rules for type 2 diabetes
Diabetes of the second type is characterized by problems with the pancreas.
It still produces the necessary amount of insulin, but the assimilation of glucose by tissue cells is not ensured at the proper level, therefore, although people do not need constant injections and insulin.
It is necessary to observe a special diet and take sugar-lowering oral preparations. This type of diabetes is considered insulin-independent.
With diabetes of the second type, it is important to include in the diet food that allows you to reduce blood sugar. Unlike the diet for diabetes of the first level, the diet for diabetes of the second level differs more severe restrictions. It is necessary to completely avoid foods that contain sugar, fats and cholesterol.
Also need to include in the diet prescribed by doctors, hypoglycemic drugs.
Rules for the reduction of glucose in pregnancy
Women during pregnancy can change their blood sugar levels. This is the so-called diabetes of pregnant women. The cause of this phenomenon is the hormone progesterone. It helps increase the amount of glucose in the blood.
It is important to know that diabetes of pregnant women is a serious problem, as it can cause complications of pregnancy.
The glucose level of a woman bearing a baby can vary from 3.3 mmol per liter to 5.5 mmol per liter.
At rates from 5.5 to 7 mmol per liter there is a suspicion of problems with tolerance to sugar. If the indicators are even higher - diabetes is diagnosed.
Signs of high blood sugar during pregnancy are strong thirst, frequent urge to urinate, blurred vision, irrepressible appetite. Although the symptoms are similar to those of the usual course of pregnancy, an accurate diagnosis is necessary. For this, it is required to donate blood for glucose. This is the only way to immediately identify the incipient disease.
Increased blood sugar is a big problem for both mom and baby. A high level of sugar can threaten the appearance of gestosis - a condition that is characterized by high blood pressure. In addition, childbirth may occur before the due date.
For a baby, high sugar in the blood of the mother threatens placental insufficiency, leading to hypoxia and developmental delay.
If you suspect a high level of glucose, you can reduce it by following a special diet.
To do this, it is necessary to remove fast carbohydrates from the diet, such as sugar, potatoes and other starchy vegetables, pastries.
It is necessary to limit the consumption of sweet fruits and beverages. Caloric content of the diet should not exceed 30 kilocalories per kilogram of weight. It is useful to include physical activities in the daily schedule. It can be simple walks in the fresh air, special sports with an instructor.
If possible, you can purchase a glucometer that will allow you to monitor blood sugar levels. Most often, such a diet and lifestyle adjustments will help reduce blood sugar levels to normal without treatment.
After the birth, diabetes usually passes, but it does not exclude repetition in subsequent pregnancies. In addition, women who have suffered diabetes of pregnant women are at risk of developing diabetes.
Folk remedies in the fight against high blood sugar
In addition to keeping a diet, reduce blood sugar helps traditional medicine.
In the initial stages of the onset of diabetes mellitus, tea made from strawberry leaves can be used to reduce blood sugar. This infusion also has a diuretic and diaphoretic properties and dissolves the sand in the kidneys.
Well reduces blood sugar from tea leaves of raspberry forest. It is drunk in a warm form.
In spring, you can enter a salad of young dandelion leaves into the diet. They contain insulin. For salad preparation, the leaves are soaked in water for half an hour, after which they are dried, chopped and prepared with a salad with parsley, dill and egg yolk with the addition of these leaves. Such salad can be filled with any vegetable oil or low-fat sour cream.
Thus, diabetes mellitus though represents a rather serious problem, practically does not affect the healthy and active life of a person. It's enough to eat right and have a blood test on time.
