Experts concur that diabetics may better control their blood sugar levels, use insulin, maintain a healthy weight, and generally stay healthier by eating the correct foods at the proper times.
According to Michelle Routhenstein, a certified diabetes educator at EntirelyNourished.com and preventive cardiology dietician located in New York, “food choices are an important aspect for managing diabetes because they directly impact blood sugar levels and overall health,” she said to News .
People can better control their blood glucose levels and lower their risk of problems like heart disease, renal disease, and nerve damage linked with diabetes by balancing their nutrient-dense food choices.”
Tanya Freirich, a registered dietitian nutritionist in Charlotte, North Carolina, and owner of The Lupus Dietitian, says that one of the best methods to control diabetes and reduce blood sugar is through diet.
Overall, leaner meats and plant proteins, higher-fiber, complex carbohydrates (whole grains), lots of veggies (the aim is half of the plate), lower-sugar fruits, and healthier fats are all better options, she told News.
