How to reduce blood glucose: Britons told to have two food groups at the start of every day to reduce blood sugar levels

Speaking exclusively to GB News, Ade shared the importance of having foods rich in fibre and protein.

He said: "For breakfast, focus on foods that are high in fibre and protein but low in simple sugars. Good choices include overnight oats made with chia seeds or a high-fibre wholegrain toast with avocado and eggs."

Another option for people to have in the morning is Greek yoghurt which is high in protein and packed full of health benefits such as supporting bone health.

Ade said: "Greek yoghurt with berries and nuts can help stabilise blood sugar levels. You could also try a smoothie with spinach, unsweetened almond milk, and protein powder, which provides good nutrition while keeping blood sugar stable."

Protein and fibre help reduce blood sugar levels as they slow down the digestion of carbohydrates and the absorption of glucose.

According to a study, having more protein in your diet can help improve insulin sensitivity and glucose uptake.

Aside from diet, there are several other measures individuals can put in place to help their blood glucose.

Ade said: "A key tip is to focus on eating smaller, more frequent meals rather than large, infrequent ones. This can help prevent large spikes in blood sugar.

"Managing stress is important because stress hormones like cortisol can cause blood sugar levels to rise. Incorporating regular physical activity, like walking after meals, can also improve insulin sensitivity and help keep blood sugar levels in check."

Quality sleep is another vital factor Ade emphasised, noting that poor sleep patterns can disrupt blood sugar regulation.

Having the right hydration is also key for blood sugar levels with Ade paying particular focus on water.

He said: "Water should always be your go-to, but there are some other helpful options as well. Green tea is a great choice because it’s rich in antioxidants, and studies suggest it may help improve insulin sensitivity.

"Herbal teas like cinnamon or ginger tea are also great options that could help with blood sugar control."
