Managing type 2 diabetes or prediabetes means making smart choices about the foods you eat.
It’s not always easy to figure out which foods will help you lower blood sugar levels and which ones might cause a spike.
But the good news is that with a bit of guidance, you can make confident choices that support your health, taste buds, and lifestyle.
Choosing the right foods is one of the most effective ways to naturally manage blood sugar levels, support weight loss, and reduce the need for medications. In fact, it’s one of the most powerful steps you can take toward better health!
Here at DMP, we dive deep into the world of foods to help you understand what works best for managing blood sugar. From exploring the benefits of everyday staples like almonds and apples to more indulgent choices like steak and salmon, you’ll find practical tips and science-backed insights on how each food impacts your blood sugar.
Finding the right foods for blood sugar control doesn’t mean feeling deprived. In fact, there’s a whole variety of delicious options that you can enjoy while keeping your blood sugar in check:
