What food can I pair with blueberries to lower the glucose?
Watermelons and canteloupe are also high in sugar - is that a problem?

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Welcome to HCM and thank you for the query.
I am glad that you are a very health conscious person.
You can eat fruits which are low in Glycemic Index ( GI ) and Glycemic load (GL).
Watermelon and cantaloupe have a high glycemic index with a low glycemic load which means that you can take them in small amounts.
Along with the low calorie, low GI and low GL food , you should also exercise for a minimum of 30 minutes. It should be of moderate intensity which means that when you exercise the heart rate should go upto 100 beats per minute at your age.
You should also relax and practice stress relieving measure.
Take Care,
Dr Noble Zachariah
