8 ways to bring blood sugar under control

Sharing the 8 ways to manage blood sugar, the metabolic doctor captioned the post, “Want to bring blood sugar under control without depending too much on medicines? Simple daily habits matter more than fancy hacks. Follow these steps for 12 weeks and you’ll see real change. Blood sugar equals diet + timing. Fix both, and the results follow.”

Dr Rai highlighted that the results will be visible after 14 days and suggested that if one continues practising these habits for 12 more weeks, they will see the real change. Here’s what the metabolic expert advised:

1. No sugary drinks. No white bread/rice.
2. Eat cinnamon daily – 1/2 tsp in morning tea.
3. Start meals with a fibre-rich salad.
4. Choose complex carbs over simple ones.
5. Walk 20 minutes after every meal.
6. Drink bitter gourd juice 3 times per week.
7. Replace sugar with stevia or monk fruit.
8. Eat small, frequent meals, not 3 big ones.
