Blood sugar is the fuel for your body’s organs and functions, and you get it from the food you eat. Too much sugar in your blood is like dipping your entire body in syrup, which will cause various complications and damage your skin, eyes, kidneys, heart, and brain.
Insulin is the only hormone in your body that reduces and stabilizes blood sugar. Pre-diabetes means that you have higher blood sugar levels, but not yet high enough to be diagnosed with diabetes, and without lifestyle changes, you are more likely to develop type 2 diabetes in the future. For people with type 2 diabetes, insulin does not work as effectively as it normally does, a condition called “insulin resistance,” which causes high blood sugar levels. Unfortunately, there is no cure for diabetes yet. But you can control your blood sugar levels within the normal range so that they don’t harm your body and you can still live a good life.
KaLOHAS®🩸 How to support your body’s natural process to control your blood sugar levels
Stable blood sugar levels are important for energy, concentration and health. When blood sugar fluctuates a lot, it can lead to fatigue, sugar cravings and mood swings. Fortunately, you can do a lot to keep it stable through diet, exercise, sleep and lifestyle. 💪
- 🍽️ Diet has the greatest impact on your blood sugar
- Choose slow carbohydrates such as whole grains, lentils, beans and vegetables that are high in dietary fiber.
- Always combine protein and healthy fats with your meals – this makes the sugar absorbed more slowly.
- Eat regularly to avoid big fluctuations, and remember to drink water throughout the day.
- 🏃♀️ Exercise makes the body more sensitive to insulin, so that sugar can be used as energy more easily
- Go for a brisk 30-minute walk daily – it makes a big difference.
- Combine with strength training 2-3 times a week to increase muscle mass, which helps burn glucose.
- 😴 Lack of sleep and stress cause the body to produce more cortisol, which raises blood sugar
- Ensure 7-8 hours of good sleep every night.
- Try relaxation techniques such as meditation, yoga or deep breathing.
- ⚖️ A healthy lifestyle makes the difference
- Even a small weight loss (5-10%) can significantly improve blood sugar regulation.
- Avoid smoking – it reduces insulin sensitivity.
- Drink alcohol in moderation and eat a varied diet.
- 🌿 Some nutrients that support normal blood sugar regulation
- Chromium – contributes to maintaining normal blood sugar levels.
- Zinc – contributes to normal carbohydrate metabolism.
- Magnesium – contributes to normal energy-yielding metabolism
- Consuming 10 g of pectins per meal helps to limit the rise in blood sugar levels after a meal
- Replacing digestible starch (e.g. white bread, cakes, juice, soft drinks, potatoes, rice) with resistant starch (e.g. cold boiled potatoes, green bananas, legumes, some whole grains) in a meal helps to limit the rise in blood sugar levels after a meal.
- Vitamin B6: contributes to regulating hormonal activity.
- Vitamin D helps the body absorb calcium from the diet
- Calcium contributes to normal neurotransmission including the release of insulin from the pancreatic beta cells [23].

The results from the group that ate a standard Nordic diet including KaLOHAS® indicated improvements in parameters related to blood sugar, calorie intake and thus body weight, as well as cholesterol levels. Research has also shown that KaLOHAS® can increase the release of insulin and reduce insulin resistance.
