As the NHS points out, early treatment reduces the risk of other health problems.\n<\/p>\n<h2>How to lower high blood sugar<\/h2>\n<p>Eating a healthy diet and staying active will help you control your blood sugar level.\n<\/p>\n<p>There&#8217;s nothing you can&#8217;t eat if you have type 2 diabetes, but you&#8217;ll need to limit certain foods.  The worst offenders are certain types of carbohydrates because they break down into glucose (sugar) in the blood relatively quickly.\n<\/p>\n<p>The glycemic index (GI) can help you distinguish the good from the bad.  The GI is a classification system for foods that contain carbohydrates.  It shows how quickly each food affects your blood sugar (glucose) level when that food is eaten alone.\n<\/p>\n<p>Carbohydrate foods that are quickly broken down by the body and cause a rapid rise in blood glucose have a high GI.  High GI foods include:\n<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Sugar and sugary foods<\/li>\n<li>sugary soft drinks<\/li>\n<li>White bread<\/li>\n<li>Potatoes<\/li>\n<li>White rice.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Low or medium GI foods break down more slowly and cause a gradual rise in blood sugar levels over time.  They include some fruits and vegetables, legumes, and whole foods, such as porridge.\n<\/p>\n<p>Some low GI foods, such as whole foods, fruits, vegetables, beans and lentils, are foods that we should eat as part of a healthy and balanced diet.\n<\/p>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Type 2 diabetes is characterized by a dysfunction in the way the body produces insulin, a hormone secreted by the pancreas.
