Eating a healthy diet is an important part of managing diabetes.
A healthy diet for people with diabetes typically includes:
A variety of vegetables, including leafy greens, colorful vegetables, and starchy vegetables such as sweet potatoes and peas.
Fruits, including whole fruits rather than fruit juices.
Whole grains, such as whole wheat, oats, and quinoa.
Lean proteins, such as chicken, turkey, fish, beans, and tofu.
Healthy fats, such as those found in avocados, nuts, and olive oil.
" It is also important to limit intake of saturated and trans fats, as well as added sugars and salt. "
It is important to note that everyone's nutritional needs are different, so it is a good idea to work with a healthcare provider, or a registered dietitian to develop a meal plan, that is right for you.
They can take into account your specific needs, preferences, and health status to help you make healthy food choices that support the management of your diabetes.
