Diabetes Meal Planning

The Food Plan:

For diabetic people the food should include nutrient-rich, low-glycemic-index (GI) foods. These foods release sugar slowly into the bloodstream, helping to manage blood sugar levels.
Non-starchy vegetables:
Broccoli, spinach, kale, carrots, peppers, and green beans are all excellent choices.
Fruits:
Berries, apples, pears, and citrus fruits are all good options. They are naturally sweet and packed with fiber, which helps slow down the absorption of sugar.
Whole grains:
Opt for brown rice, quinoa, oats, and barley over refined grains like white bread, pasta, and rice.
Lean protein:
Choose lean meats, fish, poultry, tofu, and tempeh.
Healthy fats:
Include healthy fats like avocado, nuts, seeds, and olive oil in your diet.
Limit processed foods, sugary drinks, and unhealthy fats:
These foods can spike your blood sugar levels and contribute to weight gain.
Read food labels carefully
Pay attention to the carbohydrate content and the glycemic index of the foods you choose.
Eat regular meals and snacks
This will help to keep your blood sugar levels stable.
