This research, carried out by a group of researchers from the American Diabetes Association of Harvard Medical School, said that to avoid diabetes one should not only change ones lifestyle, but should also take in a healthy diet.

It also stated that regular workout also helps to control the blood sugar and has been named as ‘Healthy Eating for Type 2 Diabetes’.

Weight-maintenance is also necessary. It also said that consumption of citrus fruits, onions and cinnamon, also help. These have been found to regulate insulin activities within the body. Other food items are oatmeal cereal, which is a good blood sugar controller.
