While there is no single food that can cure diabetes, incorporating certain foods into a balanced diet can help manage blood sugar levels and reduce the risk of complications associated with diabetes. Foods rich in fiber, such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and legumes, can slow the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream, preventing spikes in blood glucose levels.
A healthy diet is an essential component of diabetes management, it should be combined with regular physical activity, medication (if prescribed), and regular monitoring of blood sugar levels for optimal control and prevention of complications.
Here are the best foods to prevent diabetes.
Berries
Berries are generally rich in polyphenols that help lower blood sugar after meals, according to a British Journal of Nutrition study.
Berries can further improve your insulin sensitivity and resistance if you were at risk of becoming diabetic. Your best options include cranberries and strawberries.
