Choosing the Right Foods

Navigating what to eat with diabetes doesn't have to be complicated. The key is focusing on whole, unprocessed foods that help manage blood sugar levels. Think plenty of non-starchy vegetables like leafy greens, broccoli, and peppers.

Choose lean proteins such as fish, chicken, and beans.

For carbohydrates, opt for whole grains like quinoa and oats over refined grains. Incorporate healthy fats from avocados, nuts, and olive oil. Remember portion control and mindful eating are crucial.
