Vegetables

Vegetables are an important component of the diet for type 2 diabetes. They are low in calories and high in fiber, which helps control blood sugar, improve digestion and promote satiety. Non-starchy vegetables such as spinach, broccoli, cauliflower, cucumbers and peppers are especially beneficial. They contain a variety of vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that support overall health and strengthen the immune system.

It is important to avoid starchy vegetables such as potatoes and berry beans in large quantities as they can raise your blood sugar. It is better to steam, bake or use vegetables in salads, preserving their nutritional value. Including a variety of vegetables in your daily diet not only helps stabilize glucose levels, but also improves nutritional quality and promotes overall health.
