Stable blood sugar isn’t only a diabetic issue. Big sugar swings can affect energy, focus and cravings for almost anyone.
Simple habit one: don’t live on only refined carbs and sugar. Pair carbs with protein and fibre—for example, roti + dal + sabzi, fruit + nuts, not just plain biscuits or sweets. This slows sugar absorption.
Avoid long gaps followed by giant meals. Eating nothing for 6–7 hours and then attacking food increases the chance of overeating and feeling sleepy or “crashy” afterwards. Try more regular, balanced meals.
Sugary drinks are sneaky—they flood the system quickly and leave you hungry again soon. Keeping them as occasional treats, not daily habits, helps.
Regular physical activity—walking, climbing stairs, any exercise you enjoy—helps your body use sugar better.
If you have strong family history of diabetes, overweight around the belly, or other risk factors, these habits become even more important. And periodic testing as advised by a doctor is wise.
You don’t have to be scared of every grain of rice. The goal is balance, not obsession.
