Being diagnosed with diabetes is tough for anyone, and it does mean that some lifestyle choices have to made, but it doesn't necessarily mean that certain food groups are off limits at all times. 

There are foods that you should avoid for the most part, but these foods can usually be eaten as a treat every once in a while.  With that in mind, here are some of the foods that are considered great for those with diabetes.

  • Fresh vegetables
  • Grilled lower fat meats
  • Beans
  • Eggs
  • Whole grain foods such as whole grain bread
  • Baked potato
  • Corn

So there you have it - some of the best foods for diabetics.  Now onto some of the foods that you should try to save for treats only.

  • Fries
  • White bread
  • Canned vegetables with added salt
  • Canned fruit in syrup
  • Fruit preserves
  • Fruit drinks
  • Fried meats
  • Full fat cheese

Eating healthy, balanced meals is the key to managing your diabetes Good nutrition not only helps you control your blood sugar levels but it also lowers your blood pressure and cholesterols keeps cravings at bay.

I suggest some meal plan to you:-

  • Bake with whole wheat flour instead of white.
  • Start the day with a half-cup of high-fiber bran cereal.
    “Choose one with at least 3 grams of fiber per serving and less than 6
    grams of sugar."
  • Use whole wheat pasta.
  • Make a sandwich on whole-grain bread.

Hi
there! If you already follow a healthy meal plan, filled with whole grains,
fresh fruits and veggies, and lean protein, you will be able to control the
problem pretty easily. Produce like apples, asparagus, avocados, beans,
blueberries, broccoli & carrots can be very beneficial. All the best and
take good care!
