Choose Low GI Foods
Low glycemic index (GI) foods like hummus, broccoli, milk chocolate and even sponge cake, with a GI value of 55 or less, help the slow release of energy and don't just spike up the blood glucose level within minutes. They help in keeping your blood sugar levels steady. Choose from carbs like chickpea, rajma, soyabean, walnuts, pistachios and peanuts, most vegetables (but not parsnips and pumpkin), and fruits such as pear, plums, and orange.
