5. Lose a Little Weight
Carrying around extra weight is one of the main causes of insulin resistance, keeping the blood sugar-lowering hormone from working properly, according to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases.
6. Drink More Water
Staying hydrated is an easy way to stay in control of your blood sugar levels. A previous study found the more water study participants drank, the less likely they were to develop high blood sugar. More specifically, the study found people who drank less than ½ liter of water per day were at increased risk of developing blood sugar issues.
