Whether you have prediabetes or not, knowing what blood sugars are and how they work is important, as prolonged high blood sugars can lead to chronic illness. The food you eat will metabolize to glucose, or sugar, which fuels your body's cells to function properly. However, issues occur when the concentration of glucose in the blood is higher than the body's needs. The key to maintaining steady blood sugar levels is to choose the right foods.
While there are no foods that will cause blood sugar levels to drop dramatically, there are foods that reduce blood sugar average readings over time and will help you avoid drastic spikes. Let's take a look at some of those foods.

Still it would be a great name for a punk rock band.
Great list!!
I had Salmon and Yellow Squash and Onion for lunch.
Does it have any other uses?
Uhhh, how about anything without sugar or refined flour?
Bacon eggs and hot salsa.
Gotta skip the toast and stay from milk.
Have real cream in your coffee....if creamer is your bag.
Hot coffee makes more salsa burn.
Nerve pain makes me a fiend for hot spicy foods.
Will tuna work?
Do hot spicy foods help to reduce nerve pain?
Not eating a bunch of sugar also reduces blood sugar levels.
Geez, people, have some character.
hot spicy does release endorphins....which help everything, including, I’d think, though modestly a bit of pain
Yes tuna will work, and on occasion, you should substitute it with carp.
I guess it makes your brain kick out natural pain endorphins ....something to that effect.
Spicy foods release endorphins, which are the body’s natural painkiller.
The right way to take bitter melon is with a special mustard sauce available in certain Asian stores. Otherwise yes, quite nasty. But when has anything good for you ever tasted nice ?
