In France, several million people suffer from diabetes. An illness with which we must learn to live. The first thing is to watch your diet. Here are the 7 foods to favor.

The water

When it comes to drinks, there’s nothing like water. It helps control blood sugar levels and eliminates toxins. Quite the opposite of alcohol and sodas which will have a significant impact on blood sugar levels.

The lemon

Diabetics can abuse it: lemon will be of great help to them. It is first of all very rich in vitamin C. Furthermore, it has an anti-fatigue action thanks to flavonoids (antioxidant substances). It also helps reduce the glycemic index. It can be consumed in all its forms: in juice or on a cold dish.

The onion

It gives flavor but not only that. Onion is recommended in the diet of people suffering from diabetes. It displays a low glycemic index and above all contains sulfur compounds which limit insulin secretion.

Spinach

With a very low glycemic load, spinach is a food that people with diabetes can cook. But it would above all have preventive virtues: according to a study published in the British Medical Journal (BMJ), eating spinach or other green leafy vegetables such as broccoli reduces the risk of developing type 2 diabetes, the type that usually manifests itself in adulthood.

Ginger

Alternative medicine sees ginger as a superfood with multiple benefits. According to an Australian study, it increases the uptake of glucose by muscle cells and thus allows you to better control your sugar level. A true ally for diabetics.

The almonds

Almonds are a great option for people with diabetes because of their low glycemic index and high fiber, protein, and healthy fats. Fiber and protein help stabilize blood sugar levels by slowing digestion and reducing the absorption of sugar into the bloodstream.

Berries

Berries (strawberries, blueberries, raspberries, etc.) are fruits with a low glycemic index, making them suitable for people with diabetes. They are also rich in fiber, vitamins and antioxidants. Antioxidants can help reduce oxidative stress, which is linked to chronic health conditions, including diabetes. The fiber in berries also helps regulate blood sugar levels by slowing the digestion and absorption of sugar.
