4. Limit your gluten and dairy intake
If you’re a diabetes sufferer, gluten is not exactly your best friend. In general, gluten-containing grains such as wheat can easily lead to inflammation in the body, especially in the intestinal tract. To be more precise, when your gastrointestinal tract is inflamed, it causes leptin and cortisol imbalance, resulting in spikes in your blood sugar.
It would be great if you’d replace your pasta with quinoa or Shirataki noodles, for example. However, gluten is not your one and only enemy. Some dairy sources are your enemies, too. In fact, it’s not really about them, but about the protein found in them, called casein. This protein triggers inflammation, so that’s why you need to be careful with your dairy choices.
