Hi, thanks for your query. Try to avoid eating simple carbohydrates, as much as possible. However, since carbs are required for body to function, do take complex carbs (in the forms of oats) as well as a lot of vegetables that do not increase sugar levels (such as okra, egg plant, cabbage, cauliflower etc). A series of studies have shown that vitamin d levels are connected to insulin sensitivity and blood glucose levels. At least 30 minutes a day in the sunshine (without a sunscreen) would be helpful, and a daily multivitamin that includes a minimum of 400 iu of vitamin d would be highly recommended. One gram (slightly less than a half teaspoon) of cinnamon per day was given to 60 volunteers with type 2 diabetes studies have shown that 200 mg daily of alpha lipoic acid (ala) can help reduce the kidney and nerve damage often seen in diabetes please do not eat the following. Bread, cookies, rice, pasta, sweet drinks etc.
