theist 1 Report post Posted January 27, 2009 Cinnamon powder 1 teaspoon a day. Proven to lower blood sugar levels. Bitter melon also. Pick the younger ones. All kinds of beans I have found are best for health and keeping blood sugar stable. I am also diabetic. Avoid starchy foods like rice. I suspect that may be a hard one considering that rice is such a staple in India but it raises blood sugar to very high levels very quickly, Good luck Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
