Diabetes is a condition where the pancreas doesn&#8217;t produce adequate insulin. Maintaining glucose levels is important for normal functioning of the body. The ideal range of sugar levels is 90-130 mg\/dL while fasting. Whereas post meals, it needs to be less than 180 mg\/DL.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h.h6ms7wluzeio\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Why_Causes_a_Spike_in_Your_Sugar_Levels\"><\/span><span class=\"c7 c10\">Why Causes a Spike in Your Sugar Levels?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span class=\"c7 c4\">Heavy meals<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span class=\"c7 c4\">Stress<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span class=\"c7 c4\">Underlying illness<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span class=\"c7 c4\">Sedentary lifestyle<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span class=\"c7 c4\">Skipping medication<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/lh6.googleusercontent.com\/us9ILmGMGzzat0Iz-9mkKuLFML4XlbJyMtbycLxcc81BZz320ZY1YrtFvobXSPOZe8CxDk4QsyWzW-Cr62UoXjOzdu3sYhNyadvV1cLBgoXW6fR1z_DTaQp5YCDvhzyLBNBKj2AR\" alt=\"Which Foods Can Lower Your Blood Glucose Levels?\"\/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"h.blui2ej4inqz\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Which_Foods_Can_Lower_Your_Blood_Glucose_Levels\"><\/span><span class=\"c7 c10\">Which Foods Can Lower Your Blood Glucose Levels?<\/span><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p><span class=\"c4\">You should have foods you enjoy, but keep a check on what goes inside the body.
