1. Opt for a low-carb diet

It’s not easy to eliminate carbs from your diet, but since they are a major threat to your health, avoiding them is a surefire way to prevent future blood sugar spikes. When we eat French fries, for example, they are actually broken down into what doctors call simple sugars.

This type of sugar enters our bloodstream as soon as we eat it, leading to blood sugar spikes. When your pancreas notices a rise in your blood sugar levels, it will immediately release a hormone named insulin, which is responsible for absorbing sugar from your blood.

That’s why people with diabetes need insulin as a treatment; to lower their blood sugar levels. However, they can also control them with the help of diet. Following a low-carb diet will most definitely prevent your blood sugar spikes.
