10+ Foods That May Help Support Lower Blood Sugar
1. Oats
High in soluble fiber (beta-glucan), which slows digestion and helps reduce glucose spikes.
2. Beans and Lentils
Packed with protein and fiber, helping improve fullness and support stable blood sugar.
3. Leafy Greens
Spinach, kale, and chard are low in carbohydrates and rich in nutrients.
4. Berries
Lower in sugar than many fruits and high in antioxidants and fiber.
5. Nuts (especially almonds, pistachios, walnuts)
Provide healthy fats and protein that help moderate glucose absorption.
6. Fatty Fish
Salmon, sardines, and mackerel support heart health and contain no carbohydrates.
7. Greek Yogurt (unsweetened)
Higher in protein and lower in carbohydrates compared to regular yogurt.
8. Whole Grains
Brown rice, quinoa, barley, and whole-grain bread digest more slowly than refined grains.
9. Chia Seeds
High in soluble fiber, forming a gel-like texture that slows carbohydrate breakdown.
10. Cinnamon
May help improve how the body uses glucose, though effects are mild and vary by person.
11. Avocados
Provide fiber and healthy fats that help stabilize post-meal blood sugar.
12. Eggs
High in protein and low in carbohydrates, helping maintain steady energy.
13. Apple Cider Vinegar
May help reduce post-meal blood sugar when used in small amounts with meals.
(Use cautiously; avoid if you have reflux or stomach issues.)
