Ghanaians should choose local, high fibre foods to manage blood sugar – Dietician

Gbogr added that people whose bodies are unable to produce or properly use the hormones responsible for regulating blood sugar need to pay particular attention to high-fibre foods.“You need foods that are high in fibre so that naturally the food will slow down how fast the sugar gets into your blood, so that your blood levels and sugars are well controlled,” she explained.

Gbogr said greater awareness of healthy eating habits, combined with regular medical checks and appropriate professional advice, could help reduce the growing burden of diabetes, hypertension and other lifestyle-related conditions in Ghana.
