Diet forms an essential part of blood sugar management and although you do not have to cut out any food groups per se, it is strongly advised to reduce your intake of certain items known to cause a spike in blood sugar.
Foods that contain high amounts of carbohydrate spell trouble for blood sugar management because carbohydrate is broken down into glucose relatively quickly and therefore has a more pronounced effect on blood sugar levels than either fat or protein.
In fact, for optimal blood sugar management, a recent study recommends eating a diet consisting of low carb options and an increased share of protein and fat.
The study, conducted by Bispebjerg Hospital in collaboration with other partners, found diet with a reduced carbohydrate content and an increased share of protein and fat improves the patient's ability to regulate his or her blood sugar levels independent of weight loss.
