When you go to the supermarket you will find many food products labelled as Low GI. Having Low GI foods is a simple way to lower blood sugar levels. There is rice, bread, and many other products that are labelled as Low GI. You just need to read the labels on everything to make sure you are buying what's right for you.

Exercise is also another natural way to treat diabetes. If you have had too much of the wrong foods, by going to a party or such, get out there and exercise. Walking is excellent. If you have a treadmill you can walk on that if you don't have time to go outside for a walk. One plus to that is you can watch TV while walking.

There are many fruit and vegetables that are Low GI as well. Some are, broccoli, carrots, cauliflower, cabbage, tomatoes, mushrooms, chillies, lettuce, peaches, strawberries, grapes, plums, apples, apricots, cherries.

My husband used to be a white bread, white everything man. But I gradually introduced wholemeal to him for the sake of the kids. So when diagnosed with diabetes type-2 , it was easier to swap to the Low GI foods. These foods digest slower in your system and are better for your overall health.

Diabetes does not have to be a problem if you look after yourself and look after your diet. Eating the right food, exercising, and having a right attitude is a good start. Even if you do have to have medication, you won't need as much if you look after yourself.
