Groceries

People with diabetes should aim to eat vegetables with less starch. These include broccoli, beans, eggplant, carrots, zucchini, cauliflower, and salad greens like romaine lettuce
A half-cup serving of legumes is also a great option because of its high levels of fiber. Some options of legumes are beans, peanuts, peas, and lentils

Canned beans are another great option because of their protein and fiber, which will make you feel fuller for longer

Diabetics should also aim to eat Greek yogurt because of its high protein content and low level of carbs
When buying breakfast cereals, crackers, or snack bars, it is always good to buy containers that say “whole grain”, “whole wheat”, “sprouted grain”, and “high fiber.” This is because whole grains are composed of corn, oats, buckwheat, and quinoa. These slow digestion
If you are shopping for canned goods, purchase fruits that were canned in juice rather than in syrup
Overall, diabetics should aim to eat a balanced diet, composed of whole grains, fruits, vegetables, and healthy fats. Additionally, it is good to eat more foods that are high in fiber and in lean plant and animal proteins
