News Topical, Digital Desk : Do you know that some common vegetables present in your kitchen can work like magic in controlling diabetes? Yes, nutritionist Lima Mahajan believes that if you include these vegetables in your diet, then your blood sugar level can remain under control and you can avoid serious diseases like diabetes. Come, let's know about 9 such vegetables (Diabetes Prevention Diet), which are very effective in controlling blood sugar.

Bitter gourd

Even though the bitter taste of bitter gourd  may not be liked, it is no less than a boon for diabetes patients. It contains elements like charantin and polypeptide-P, which act like natural insulin and help in reducing blood glucose.

Ridge gourd

This simple looking vegetable is very beneficial for blood sugar. The apinin and luteolin present in it increase the secretion of insulin and improve the absorption of glucose in the body.

Parwal

Compounds such as trichosanthin, cucurbitacin and lupeol are found in parwal. These elements increase insulin sensitivity and reduce post-meal sugar spikes.

Kunduru

The medicinal properties of Kunduru make it  special for diabetes patients  . The cucurbitacin B and terpenoids present in it work like insulin, which reduces the blood sugar level.

cluster beans

Cluster beans contain a lot of soluble fiber i.e. guar gum. It slows down the process of absorption of carbohydrates, due to which the blood sugar level does not increase suddenly after eating.

Chichinda

Chichinda contains powerful antioxidants like saponins and flavonoids. These reduce oxidative stress and improve the body's glucose tolerance.

Drumstick pods

Moringa pods are called superfoods and a big reason for this is the chlorogenic acid present in them. This element helps in reducing the spike in blood sugar after meals.

Raw Papaya

Like ripe papaya, raw papaya is also very beneficial for health. The flavonoids and papain enzymes present in it support glucose metabolism and protect pancreatic cells.

kantola

It is also called 'forest bitter gourd'. Phenolic enzymes are found in this vegetable, which increase insulin sensitivity and show hypoglycemic effects, i.e. help in reducing blood sugar.
