When your blood sugar levels are consistently running too high (over 200), this can be dangerous for your blood vessels and organs.
Right now, your main goal is to eat foods that act like a brake on your blood sugar, slowing down digestion so you don’t get those sharp, sudden spikes.
Focus heavily on non-starchy vegetables, lean proteins, and very specific low-sugar fruits.
🧅 Best Vegetables 🥦
Non-starchy vegetables are your absolute best friend right now. They are packed with fiber, vitamins, and water, meaning you can eat large portions to feel full without raising your blood sugar.
Best Vegetable for Diabetes: Spinach, cabbage, broccoli, okra, bitterleaf, waterleaf, cucumbers, onions, garlic, ginger, and bell peppers
