Diabetes has emerged as a common lifestyle disease with several complications including heart attacks and kidney damage. It is important to work closely with your doctor and create a good regimen for medications, diet and lifestyle choices.

Here are some foods you can include in your diet template to beat diabetes-

• Fenugreek seeds soaked in water overnight have been shown to have an effect on blood sugar control throughout the day.
• Millets are known for their low glycemic index. They prevent a big blood glucose surge after your meal. They are also rich in antioxidants.
• Foods like Bitter gourd, Cauliflower, Mustard greens and Radish are known to be anti-inflammatory. They help prevent insulin resistance, which is a key problem in diabetics, especially type 2.
• Wheat grass is one super-food which tends to control blood sugars by preventing excess glucose production from liver, increased glucose uptake at tissues. Include it at least couple times a week in your diet.
