-


 

Diabetes can be very difficult to manage, especially when it comes to what you eat and how you cook your meals. Since many foods high in sugar or carbohydrates can negatively affect your blood sugar levels, it’s important to know the best foods to include in your diet to help lower blood sugar levels and manage diabetes symptoms like dizziness, hunger, and fatigue. These five diabetes-friendly recipes will help you stay healthy while eating delicious food!

  • Fish is an excellent source of lean protein. Fish like salmon, mackerel, herring, sardines, and trout are all high in omega-3 fatty acids, which can lower triglyceride levels in those with diabetes. These fish also provide a healthy dose of vitamin D, which can reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Try grilling up some salmon with lemon wedges or making a tuna salad sandwich on whole grain bread.
  • Beans are a great source of protein, fiber, iron and folate. They are also low in calories. Beans are also great because they have a lower glycemic index than other carbohydrate sources, so they are less likely to cause spikes in blood sugar levels. You can mix beans with rice or grains to create a high-fiber side dish, add them to soups or stews as a thickener, or put them on salads as a crunchy topping.
  •  Lowering your fat intake is a great way to start eating more healthy. Dairy foods are an excellent source of protein, calcium, vitamin D, magnesium, potassium and phosphorus- all nutrients that are important in a diabetic diet. They also have been shown in studies to reduce the risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Plus, they taste good! One thing you should be aware of is that some dairy products contain high amounts of lactose, which can cause discomfort in people with lactose intolerance.

  • .        Eggs are a great breakfast option, especially if you're trying to lower the amount of carbohydrates you're eating. Have an omelet with veggies and some cheese, or scrambled eggs on toast with a side of avocado. Roughly four eggs provide 150 calories, twelve grams of protein, 5 grams of fat (1.5 saturated), and only one gram each of cholesterol and carbs. Eggs are also a great source vitamin A, B12, D, E, calcium and iron.

  • .      Nuts are a wonderful source of protein, heart-healthy fats, vitamins and minerals. Nuts are also low in carbohydrates. Almonds are one of the most popular nuts because they have the highest amount of protein per serving out of any nut. They also have a lower fat content than most other nuts making them a great snack choice for those watching their weight. In addition, almonds have vitamin E which is an antioxidant that helps protect cells from damage by free radicals.
