It’s the Holy Grail for people with diabetes: Checking your blood sugar and seeing the numbers right in line. Can lifestyle changes help? Yes, says Jill Weisenberger, RDN, a diabetes nutrition expert based in Newport News, Virginia. If you have diabetes, lowering blood sugar isn’t just a short-term goal — according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), it helps prevent or delay diabetes complications, including heart, kidney, eye, and nerve diseases. It can change the course of the disease entirely. “It's 100 percent important that [people with type 2 diabetes] try and lower their blood sugars through dietary approaches first,” says Jessica Crandall Snyder, RD, CDCES, with Vital RD in Denver. “For some people, it not only can be preventive, but it can also help with reversal of the actual disease.” Crandall Snyder says making a few key lifestyle changes can sometimes eliminate the need for medication. “Poking yourself with insulin isn't fun,” she says. “Diabetes is a progressive disease, and you really have to figure out how to take control.”

2. If you have diabetes, lowering blood sugar isn’t just a short-term goal — according to the
Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), it helps prevent or delay diabetes
complications, including heart, kidney, eye, and nerve diseases. It can change the course
of the disease entirely.
“It's 100 percent important that [people with type 2 diabetes] try and lower their blood
sugars through dietary approaches first,” says Jessica Crandall Snyder, RD, CDCES, with
Vital RD in Denver. “For some people, it not only can be preventive, but it can also help
with reversal of the actual disease.”
Crandall Snyder says making a few key lifestyle changes can sometimes eliminate the
need for medication. “Poking yourself with insulin isn't fun,” she says. “Diabetes is a
progressive disease, and you really have to figure out how to take control.”
Here are 10 ways to do it, no prescriptions required.

3. 1. Keep an Eye on Your Carb Intake
Paying attention to carbohydrates is important for people with type 2 diabetes. “Carbs are
what cause your blood sugars to potentially fluctuate,” Crandall Snyder says.
How many carbs per meal is ideal? “It’s tailored to each individual,” says Weisenberger.
How much you exercise, your weight, and your age can all affect how long sugars stay in
your system, according to the CDC. A typical starting point for people with diabetes is to
limit carb intake to 200 to 245 grams (g) per day, which amounts to about one-half of your
daily calories coming from carbs, according to the CDC. From there, make adjustments
according to your blood glucose readings or as recommended by a dietitian, Crandall
Snyder says.

4. And keep in mind that carbs aren’t only found in the usual culprits, like bread, potatoes, and
pasta. They are also in fruits, vegetables, sweets, and dairy, so you have to take all of
those into consideration as well, Crandall Snyder says.
2. Avoid Eating Large Meals
One way to keep carbs under control is by eating in moderation. “I always tell my patients
to spread their food out over the day,” Weisenberger says. “Don’t eat small meals to save
up for a big dinner.” Feeding your body throughout the day helps regulate your blood sugar
levels and prevents highs and lows, Crandall Snyder says.

5. Both Weisenberger and Crandall Snyder say to keep an eye on carbs, even while
snacking. “Classically, less than 15 g of carbs per snack is a good standard approach,”
Crandall Snyder says. That’s about what’s found in 1 cup of fruit, she says.
3. Fill Up on Fiber
Fiber is another nutrient you’ll want to keep an eye on for blood sugar management, but in
this case, the more the better! It can help stabilize your blood sugars, Crandall Snyder
says. It also plays a role in weight management and can lower your risk of cardiovascular
disease, according to a review published in September 2017 in Advances in Obesity
Weight Management & Control.

6. What to Know About Diabetic Macular Edema
Fiber plays a preventative role, too. Studies have found that high-fiber diets can reduce the
incidence of type 2 diabetes by 15 to 19 percent compared to low-fiber diets, according to a
March 2018 study published in the Journal of Chiropractic Medicine.

7. You’ll find fiber in plant foods such as raspberries, peas, and whole grains, according to the
Mayo Clinic. Beans are another good source of fiber. People with type 2 diabetes who ate
at least a cup of legumes (beans, chickpeas, and lentils) daily for three months had lower
blood glucose levels as measured by the A1C test, according to a study published in the
Archives of Internal Medicine. (A1C is a way to measure your average blood glucose levels
over a three-month period, according to MedlinePlus.) Beans also are an excellent source
of folate, which is linked to a lower risk of cardiovascular disease, a common diabetes
complication, according to the National Institutes of Health.
Men should aim for 30 to 38 g of fiber per day, and women should eat 21 to 25 g per day,
according to the Mayo Clinic.

8. 4. Get More Quality Shuteye
Poor or limited sleep affects body chemistry, and getting more slumber helps with blood
sugar control, Weisenberger says. Chronic lack of sleep may contribute to the risk of type 2
diabetes, according to a small study published in Diabetologia in February 2015. Healthy
volunteers who slept only four hours for three nights in a row had higher levels of fatty acids
in their blood, which reduced insulin’s ability to regulate blood sugar by about 23 percent,
the researchers found. Lack of sleep is also linked with other health conditions, including
obesity, heart disease, and stroke, according to the Division of Sleep Medicine at Harvard
Medical School.
The National Sleep Foundation recommends aiming for seven to nine hours of
uninterrupted sleep per night.

9. Having sleep troubles? Follow these recommendations from the National Sleep
Foundation:
● Sleep in a cool, dark room.
● Avoid consuming alcohol or caffeine in the hours before bed.
● Go to bed and wake up at the same time each day, even on the weekends.
● Don’t look at screens for at least a half hour before bedtime, including TV, tablets,
cell phones, and computers.

10. 5. Lose a Little Weight
Carrying around extra weight is one of the main causes of insulin resistance, keeping the
blood sugar-lowering hormone from working properly, according to the National Institute of
Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases.
Your weight-loss goals don’t have to be enormous either. Some of Weisenberger’s patients
have seen improvements in blood glucose readings with only a five-pound loss, she says.
Makes sense: A study published in the American Journal of Preventive Medicine found
modest weight loss — losing 5 to 10 percent of body weight — resulted in improved insulin
sensitivity and glucose tolerance. “Small steps in the right direction can yield big results in
improvement or prevention,” Crandall Snyder says.

11. 6. Drink More Water
Staying hydrated is an easy way to stay in control of your blood sugar levels. A previous
study found the more water study participants drank, the less likely they were to develop
high blood sugar. More specifically, the study found people who drank less than ½ liter of
water per day were at increased risk of developing blood sugar issues.
The idea is that water helps flush glucose out of the body. “Having a glass of water can be
really helpful in essentially diluting your blood sugar and lowering your blood sugar in a
healthy way,” Crandall Snyder says.

12. 7. Get a Handle on Stress
When you’re stressed out, your blood sugar tends to rise, Crandall Snyder says. According
to the Diabetes Teaching Center at the University of California in San Francisco, when
you’re stressed, insulin levels fall, certain hormones rise, and more glucose is released
from the liver, which ends up in the blood stream and can cause disruptions for up to eight
hours.
How can you burn off tension? Yoga and meditation can help people lower their blood
sugar levels, Weisenberger says. A December 2014 study published in the Journal of
Physical Therapy Science involving 27 nursing students and found a combination of yoga
and meditation practiced for one hour once a week led to reduced levels of stress and
lower blood glucose levels after 12 weeks.

13. Crandall Snyder also suggests taking a few deep breaths, going for a walk, playing with
your dog for a few minutes, or listening to a fun song. Basically “whatever you can do to
distract yourself for a few minutes and just lower your breathing rate” will help, she says.
Indeed, the CDC notes that less water in your body is liked with a higher blood sugar
concentration.
8. Never Skip Eating Breakfast
We’ve all heard that breakfast is the day’s most important meal. This is especially true for
those who have diabetes. “I think eating breakfast is important, especially with potential risk
for hypoglycemia and avoiding potential highs related to fasting for too long a period of
time,” Crandall Snyder says.

14. A high-protein breakfast has an edge over breakfasts that are high in carbohydrates,
according to research from The University of Missouri-Columbia. In the research, women
ages 18 to 55 consumed meals with similar calories, fat, and fiber contents — but differing
amounts of protein. Researchers monitored the amount of glucose and insulin in the
participants’ blood for four hours after they ate breakfast. The best breakfasts contained 39
g of protein and led to lower post-meal glucose spikes than the meals with less protein, the
researchers found.
Besides, eating breakfast may help overweight people with type 2 diabetes shed extra
pounds. Of the participants in the National Weight Control Registry who maintained at least
a 30-pound weight loss for at least one year, 78 percent said they eat breakfast daily.

15. 9. Add More Resistant Starch to Your Plate
Resistant starch — found in some potatoes and beans — bypasses the small intestine and
ferments in the large intestine, which means it doesn’t raise glucose levels and promotes
the growth of good bacteria in the body, according to Johns Hopkins Medicine. “It’s a
fiber-filled starch and helps with glycemic control,” says Joelle Malinowski, RD, a certified
diabetes care and education specialist with Ellis Medicine in Schenectady, New York. And
the effect will last through your next meal, Weisenberger says. “It’s called the ‘second-meal
effect,’” she says.
Interestingly, resistant starch can change with heat, and some foods, like rice, are higher in
resistant starch when cooked and cooled than when cooked and served warm, according to
Johns Hopkins Medicine.

16. Resistant starches are also found in:
● Plantains and unripe bananas
● Beans, peas, and lentils
● Whole grains, including oats and barley
Just be sure to keep carb count in mind when incorporating foods with resistant starch into
your diet.
10. Ramp Up Your Movement Each Day

17. Exercise helps improve blood glucose in people with type 2 diabetes by increasing insulin
sensitivity and the body’s ability to use glucose as energy, according to the American
Diabetes Association. “In type 2, exercise helps improve insulin resistance,” says James G.
Beckerman, MD, a cardiologist in Portland, Oregon. “The end result is lower blood sugars.”
Crandall Snyder tells patients that exercise is like spring cleaning for the body. “It takes the
stored form of glucose and uses it for energy so the next time you eat carbohydrates
there's a place to put it,” she says.
Because exercise can immediately reduce blood sugar levels in people with type 2
diabetes, work with your healthcare team to determine the right amount of activity and
timing for you. A study published in September 2017 in Frontiers in Endocrinology found
exercising 30 minutes after the start of a meal is usually best for maintaining blood sugar
controls.
