In type 2 diabetes, it is important to control your blood sugar levels, so your diet should be balanced and low in carbohydrates. Here are the key principles for choosing products:

Recommended products:

✅ Vegetables (cabbage, cucumbers, zucchini, broccoli, spinach) - low in carbohydrates and high in fiber.
✅ Protein foods (chicken, turkey, fish, eggs, tofu) - help maintain satiety without sudden sugar spikes.
✅ Healthy fats (avocado, nuts, olive oil) - improve insulin sensitivity.
✅ Dairy products (Greek yogurt, cottage cheese, cheese) - low fat and no added sugar.
✅ Whole grains (oatmeal, quinoa, buckwheat) - in moderation, as they contain slow carbohydrates.

Limit or exclude:

❌ Sugar and sweets (sweets, pastries, soda) - cause a sharp increase in glucose.
❌ White bread, pasta, rice - quickly increase blood sugar.
❌ High GI fruits (grapes, bananas, watermelon) - eat rarely and in small quantities quantities.
❌ Fatty and fried foods – may worsen insulin sensitivity.

The main thing is fractional meals (5-6 times a day in small portions) and carbohydrate control. Before changing your diet, it is better to consult a doctor or nutritionist.
