Oats
Oats are high in soluble fiber, which means that it is the perfect breakfast option. This is because soluble fiber has been shown to reduce blood sugar levels. A review of 16 different studies revealed that consuming oats significantly reduced fasting blood sugar levels and HbA1c compared to control meals. Another study found that drinking water mixed with oat bran before consuming white bread reduced blood sugar after meals. This was when compared with just drinking water on its own.
Yogurt and Kefir
Both Yogurt and Kefir are fermented dairy products that can potentially assist in regulating blood sugar levels. One study showed that drinking 600ml of kefir substantially reduced HbA1c and fasting blood sugar levels in people with type 2 diabetes. A review of several studies revealed that daily yogurt consumption was linked to a 7% decrease in risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
