1) Salads: Have salads.When you're indulging in high-carb foods (pasta, potatoes, or rice, for example), serve salad and make sure the dressing contains vinegar. Consuming one and a half tablespoons of vinegar can lower your blood sugar by 42 percent, a small study showed last year.
2) Extra-virgin olive oil: Sauté your pasta in extra-virgin olive oil (and throw in some vegetables for good measure).
The researchers say that sautéing any carb-rich food in olive oil will help hold blood sugar steady.
3)Exercise: Just one session of moderate exercise improves your body's blood-sugar control, new research shows — and mini-bursts of activity seem to be as effective as continuous exercise.
4)Sleep: If you don't sleep seven or eight hours most nights, your risk of developing diabetes — or having it get worse — rises by 37 to 88 percent
5)Substitute nuts for potatoes: Potatoes make your blood sugar rise and over the years are particularly likely to make you gain weight, a recent long-term study showed. Nuts may be high in fat, but snacking on a handful instead of chips or fries will help you lose pounds
