Many doctors believe that blood sugar fluctuations are a contributing factor in migraine headaches based on studies that show a correlation between blood sugar levels and migraines. Like diabetics, blood sugar can be managed with careful diet planning and avoiding eating certain foods. Below is a list of tips to help control blood sugar levels.

* Avoid all refined sugars including syrup, honey, high fructose corn syrup, and white and brown sugar
* Avoid dried or cooked fruit. Eat only fresh fruits
* Avoid alcohol which behaves like sugar in the body
* Eat 6 small meals a day or have a mid-morning and mid-afternoon healthy snack
* Eat some protein with every complex carbohydrate meal (natural unprocessed starches)
* Avoid simple carbs and starches  (which are converted to sugar in the body) such as white flour, white sugar, white rice, corn, white potatoes
