Go Easy On The Carbohydrates

The main source of fuel for our cells is glucose, which comes from the conversion of the complex sugars that come from carbohydrates found in food. When we eat too many carbs, glucose blood levels sky-rocket, leading to too much insulin production. When our body becomes too comfortable with high insulin levels, it takes it for granted, losing its ability to use it properly, leading to diabetes.

Planning your meals, decreasing portions of food that contain carbohydrates, and substituting alternatives to carbohydrate rich food can help control blood sugar levels and lower your risk of developing diabetes.
