Certain foods may help regulate blood sugar levels by slowing digestion, improving insulin sensitivity and reducing sudden spikes in glucose

Oats: Rich in soluble fibre, oats can slow digestion and help reduce sharp rises in blood sugar levels. Choose plain oats instead of varieties with added sugar

Lentils and beans: Lentils, chickpeas, kidney beans and other legumes contain fibre and plant-based protein, which can slow the absorption of glucose

Leafy green vegetables: Spinach, fenugreek leaves and other leafy greens provide fibre, vitamins and minerals while being relatively low in carbohydrates

Nuts and seeds: Almonds, walnuts, chia seeds and flaxseeds contain healthy fats, fibre and protein that may help support blood sugar management

Whole fruits: Apples, pears, berries and guavas provide fibre and nutrients. Eating whole fruit instead of drinking juice helps retain the fibre, which can moderate glucose absorption

Curd and other unsweetened dairy products: Plain curd provides protein and, depending on the variety, fat that may help make meals more filling. Avoid products with added sugar

Eggs and lean proteins: Eggs, fish, chicken, tofu and paneer provide protein, which can help balance meals and improve satiety when eaten alongside carbohydrate-containing foods
