There are simple steps that you can follow to control your blood glucose (sugar) levels and blood fats as well as regulate your weight. Try these out:

1. Eat regularly with meals based on food with starchy carbohydrate – these include whole meal bread, pasta, chapattis, potatoes, rice, and cereals. This can not only help to control blood glucose (sugar) levels, but also help to maintain the health of your digestive system and to prevent problems such as constipation.


2. Cut down on the amount of fat intake – in particular saturated (animal) fats as this has direct links to heart disease. Choose low fat dairy foods like skimmed milk, low fat cheese and yogurt, and lean meat instead of butter, margarine, cheese, and fatty meat. Choose monounsaturated fact such as those from olive oil and rapeseeds oil to cook your food.


3. Eat more fruit and vegetables – target for at least 5 portions a day to provide you with the necessary vitamins and fiber.
