Actually, this question is similar to one yesterday where I listed a few items that make up a good diet plan for diabetics. So review those, as all of those things mentioned can help you right away too.

Here are a few more that will help your blood sugar and general health right away, within hours of implementing them.

• Alkalize your water by adding a few drops of lemon juice. You can make it even more alkaline by adding a teaspoon of baking soda.
• Stop drinking coffee and tea that have caffeine. This one thing has probably helped my blood sugar as much as anything that I am doing. Plus, you'll quit peeing so much!
• Start drinking 3-4 liters of water every day.
• Start exercising every day. Walking is a great exercise and just about everybody can do it easily. Try walking 3 times a day, even if it is only for 5-10 minutes each time, and then work at going a little further every day.
• Stop drinking alcohol until your blood sugar levels are under control.
• Don't eat anything chocolate. I know that this is nearly impossible but chocolate is a stimulant and will raise your blood sugar levels. Don't worry, eventually you can have an occasional piece of dark chocolate now and then.
• Reduce your consumption of red meat to just once a week.
• Raise your consumption of fish to three times a week. The best choices are salmon, trout, sardines, and halibut.

Okay, that should get you started. Taking action is the most important thing that you can do, so get on it!
