Here's what she suggests:

1.Whole grains: Whole grains such as oats, barley, quinoa can help in managing healthy blood sugar readings in people with diabetes.

4. Vegetables: Vegetables are low in calories and high in fibre, which makes them ideal to control blood sugar. Eat more gourds, eggplant, pumpkin, tomatoes, green beans, carrots, colourful peppers, greens such as spinach, broccoli and cauliflower.

5. Garlic: Garlic helps lower blood sugar, inflammation, LDL cholesterol, and blood pressure in people with diabetes.

6. Coriander seeds: Coriander seeds help regularise glucose level.

7. Paneer ka phool: Lovneet says paneer ke phool ka pani not only controls spiked-up glucose levels but also renal complications associated with it.

8. Buckwheat (Kuttu) tea: The soluble fibre in buckwheat can help in lowering increased blood sugar levels after meals.

9. Bitter gourd petha juice: The strong antioxidants like lycopene with beta carotene help in cutting down the high blood sugar levels
