Lower Blood Sugar Naturally

Get More Sleep: Poor or limited sleep affects body chemistry and getting the proper amount of sleep helps blood sugar control. People who get fewer than 6 hours of sleep per night are 4.5 times more likely to get abnormal blood sugar readings than those who sleep longer. Adults require approximately 7 to 9 hours of consistant sleep per night.  

Spread Out Your Meals: Try spreading meals out over the entire day, keeping your carbohydrate intake consistant. This will give your body time to regulate blood sugar levels by receiving smaller doses of sugars over longer periods of time. As always, adjust as necessary according to your blood glucose readings. 

Manage Stress: Try creating your own stress-relieving routines: take a walk, read a book, watch a movie or listen to some relaxing music. This is important for diabetics because stress creates excess  stored energy - glucose and fat - so cells can use it when needed. This extra energy will not make it to the cells efficiently in diabetics and will result in high blood sugar readings.

Eat Breakfast: Eating breakfast is especially important for diabetics because after fasting for 8-12 hours your body will need to balance it's blood sugar levels. According to diabetes experts try to include a breakfast that contains a carbohydrate, protein and fiber.
