Broccoli
Sulforaphane is a plant chemical with blood sugar-reducing properties produced when broccoli is chewed or chopped. Broccoli extract is rich in sulforaphane and has been shown to possess potent antidiabetic effects in several animal, test-tube, and human studies. These properties help enhance insulin sensitivity and reduce oxidative stress markers. Broccoli sprouts are rich in glucosinolate, compounds that also help promote sensitivity to insulin and reduce blood sugar levels in individuals diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.
Beans and Lentils
Both lentils and beans are packed with nutrients that can help in bringing down blood sugar levels, such as fiber, protein, and magnesium. They also contain significant quantities of resistant starch and soluble fiber which aid in slowing down digestion and improving postmeal blood sugar response. In a study involving 12 female subjects, it was shown that adding chickpeas or black beans to rice notably reduced blood sugar levels after a meal compared to a meal of rice alone.
