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.
Beans and Lentils ...

Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, Spam, quinoa and Spam
Sounds like a dreadful way to live. I don’t have the diabetes but if someone did, that’d be just a not fun diet.
When your butthole is on fire you forget all about the nerve pain.
>>Quinoa: A good way to use the Q and dump a lot of vowels in Scrabble.
Does it have any other uses?<<
Mortar for brick walls.
My last check was 5.8...
BREAD, GRAPES, BANANAS SUGAR GOES UP.
ALL THE CRAP MENTIONED IS NOT FOR A GASTRO PATIENT. GASTROPARESIS IS NO FIBER, DIVERTICULOSIS NO SEED OR SEED LIKE FOODS. NO HULLS, SKINS.
LIKE TOMATOES, GRAPES, NOT EVEN SUPPOSED TO HAVE A HAMB. DILL PICKLE.

Just curious.
Oats “low on the glycemic index”?
The author is either ignorant or deliberately lying.
At 55 oats rates above orange juice and apple juice, only 10 points below pure sucrose.
If you really want to reduce blood sugar levels then don't eat food that raise blood sugar, including a number of the ones on this list.
When I was diagnosed with pre-diabetes ,and was having trouble maintaining an acceptable sugar level, my sister , who had been a middle school science teacher , told me, “don’t eat anything white, except cauliflower.”
edit: “They are foods the will raise blood sugar levels LESS if you eat them instead of other foods that will do so even more.”
Oats???
Whatever the question is, Chicken Wings are the answer.
There FIXED IT!
Cinnamon supplements reduces blood sugar by about 10%.
Yeah, but bones or no bones?
Battered or not battered?
BBQ, Spicy, or Habanero Hot?
And then there are the purists who will only have them one way and the ecumenical that are open to various forms.
No easy answers in this world, but a great time figuring out which one is the correct one.
