My cousin is coming to visit me shortly who has diabetes so I was reading about food that lowers blood sugar and discovered drinking water just after getting up and eating cruciferous veggies has been shown to lower blood glucose levels. It can also help prevent and reverse diabetic neuropathy.
Just wondering if anybody has experienced this and found it to help.

Is it possible to put this comment in the diabetes section to see what people with the condition think?

Hi @jakedduck1 I have neuropathy and muscle weakness but not due to diabetes. I have discovered by trial and error that a low carbohydrate diet makes a significant difference for me. Besides lowering the level of my neuropathy pain it also stops the dry mouth and my sensitivity to certain tastes. It is not easy to stay on a low carbohydrate diet because I do not consume artificial sweeteners. For me, it is well worth the benefits of planning low carb meals. Toni
