Complex Carbs

These foods take time to digest and will help diabetics by stabilising the release of glucose into the blood.

Non Starchy Vegetables

Spinach, collards, and kale are dark green leafy vegetables high in vitamins and minerals including A, C, E, and K, as well as iron, calcium, and potassium.

Supplementation

Supplements such as cinnamon, chromium, vitamin B1 (benfotiamine form), and magnesium may be beneficial to diabetics.

Healthy Fats

The mix of fiber-rich carbohydrates, lean protein, and heart-healthy fats can help to maintain more stable glucose levels.

Fruits And Seeds

Some fruits, such as watermelon, are high in sugar yet can be consumed in moderation as part of a healthy diet.

Eat More Fibre

Fibre is your ally when it comes to blood sugar control and weight management.

Plan Out Your Meals

As much as possible, choose whole meals over highly processed items.

Protein Rich Foods

Protein helps to stabilise blood sugar levels by reducing carbohydrate/sugar absorption.

Leafy Green Vegetables

Low-carb, high-fiber leafy green veggies like kale, spinach, and cabbage are all excellent additions to your diet.

Almonds And Walnuts

Nuts contain antioxidant characteristics and are high in vitamins and minerals, which can aid in the prevention of diabetes-related tissue damage.
