A Diabetes-Friendly diet is a healthy eating plan that helps you control your blood sugar levels. The key is to balance the types of foods and carbohydrates you consume and the amounts of insulin your body produces. It is recommended to include high fiber, low-glycemic index (GI) carbohydrates such as wholegrain bread, cereals, and fruits and vegetables, as well as lean protein and reduced-fat dairy products, and to stay away from saturated fats and added sugars.
