Watch Your Carb Intake

Carbs when consumed are broken down into sugars which further elevate our overall blood sugar levels.

Avoid having carb heavy meals all at once chunks instead have them spread across evenly trimmed relishes

Here’s what portion control looks like :

1 serving
Rice/Grains ½ cup
Bread 1 slice
Pasta/Noodle ½ cup
Fruits (specially berries) Varies from fruit to fruit but ideally should supplant you’re cravings for artificial sweets only if necessary

P.S: For best results try foregoing/replacing food items made out of white cornflour(Eg. Puri/Bhatoore Chips) , and opt whole wheat alternatives.

Pro tip: Better yet, replace any refined carbs you consume often (like white bread) with more fibre-rich carbohydrates such as vegetables.

Buckling up under several veggies doesn.’t sound amusing; Right? Well variety always helps! Whatever combination suits ones’ taste buds – lettuce leaves wrapped tacos, avocado on a slice of multigrain bread or even splurging over flossy cauliflower rice dishes served with some spicy yet flavor punch garnishing.

Treat Yourself Occasionally

The best way to ensure sustainable progress is by not depriving yourself too much too often. Every once in a while indulge yourself into treats such as few bites of chocolate or sugar-free desserts readily available – just make sure they fit within your daily carb count!

Also substitution doesn’t always mean dilution! Pick from the swankiest Berries,Grapes and Kiwifruits present at local vegetable vendor table instead of piping hot oily junk food like potato wedges, South Indian fried Wadas etc.

We hope these techniques give everyone the aid they seek to help control their blood sugar levels so that they can live happy and healthy lives with minimal worry about their diagnosis.

Good luck and stay sweet (but only when it comes to your personality!)
