Best foods for diabetes

Whole Grains

Whole grains such as brown rice, whole grain bread, buckwheat, quinoa, millet, bulgur and rye have less impact on blood sugar levels.

Fatty fish

Fatty fish like salmon, mackerel, sardines, albacore tuna, herring, and trout are rich in omega-3 fatty acids which promote heart and brain health.

Beans

Beans are a great source of plant- based protein and complex carbohydrates, helping to regulate blood sugar levels.

Walnuts

Walnuts, rich in a type of omega-3 called alpha-lipoic acid (ALA), are linked with a lower incidence of diabetes

Sweet Potatoes

Sweet potatoes, ranking lower on the glycemic index scale than white potatoes, release sugar more slowly, making them a great alternative for people with diabetes.

Yoghurt

Probiotic yogurt, particularly plain varieties with no added sugar, can improve cholesterol levels and increase insulin sensitivity.

Healthy Snacks

Hard-boiled eggs, yogurt with berries, almonds, veggies with hummus and avocado are some of the best snack options for people with diabetes
