Eating a Proper Diet

Eating a proper diet is an important part of diabetes management. Foods that are high in fiber, complex carbohydrates and have low glycolic index can be beneficial for controlling diabetes, as these types of foods digest slower and avoid sugar spikes. Healthy proteins like skinless chicken breast or fish can help to regulate blood glucose levels.

Diabetics should also focus on vegetables and fruits while avoiding processed sugars, unhealthy fats and empty calories found in certain snacks. Eating multiple meals throughout the day instead of one or two large ones is often recommended because it keeps blood sugar levels more stable. Moreover, drinks such as herbal tea and water are favored over sugary drinks like sodas or fruit juice which can greatly affect one's body if taken in excess.
