    Baby Blue Heres a list of all kinds of food item good for a diabetic::::

    General Foods

    While following a diabetic menu may appear complicated at first, it gets easier with time. As your knowledge and understanding grows about the mechanism of diabetes in the body, food selection will be a breeze. Some standard foods include:

    •Whole grains

    Bran

    Oats

    Wheat – including wheat germ

    Bulgur

    Brown rice

    Rye

    Quinoa

    •Beans and Legumes

    Chickpeas

    Kidney beans

    Lentils

    Navy beans

    Soy beans

    Black-eyed peas

    Lima beans

    •Vegetables

    Broccoli

    Cauliflower

    String beans

    Asparagus

    Brussel sprouts

    Avocado

    Collards

    Peppers

    Radishes

    Tomatoes

    Turnips

    Squash

    Dill pickles

    •Fruits

    Apples

    Bananas

    Pears

    Strawberries

    Blueberries

    Peaches

    Plums

    Oranges

    Tangerines

    •Dairy

    Cottage cheese

    Reduced-fat milk

    Reduced-fat yogurt

    Reduced-fat cheeses

    Reduced-fat sour cream

    Sugar-free ice cream/frozen yogurt

    •Eggs

    •Meats

    Chicken breast

    Turkey breast

    Lean cut beef

    Lean pork

    Bacon (pork or turkey)

    Sausage (pork, beef or turkey)

    •Fish & Shellfish

    Cod

    Flounder

    Salmon

    Tuna

    Sole

    Shrimp

    Lobster

    Clams

    In the case of vegetables and fruits, all varieties are suitable for a diabetic meal plan. The most important key to remember is that the slower the digestion of the fruit or vegetable, the better. Two ways to ensure this is to have adequate fiber, such as eating the peel of the apple, and to combine the food item with a small amount of protein and/or fat.

    I think one of the best foods for a diabetic is Plain Ol' American Chili. Beans , tomatos , onions. and low fat ground beef. WoW ! Forget the crackers!!!!!

    Good eating

    Type 2 diabetes, usually referred to as adult onset, is when your body produces insulin but can not use it properly. This type can be treated successfully with the right diet and exercise in most circumstances. Read here https://tr.im/W89qR

    If blood sugars are not kept under control at some point insulin will probably be integrated / oral medications are also available. People with diabetes can live long, happy lives but must be diligent in their care and make sure you see your endocrinologist on a regular basis.

    All beans are excellent for diabetics. Green beans are a vegetable, but all other beans (black, kidney, pinto, etc.) can be treated as a whole-grain starch.

    If you are eating a vegetarian meal, beans count as a protein. So eating beans (or tofu...soy beans!) with another whole-grain starch, such as brown rice, is very healthy.

    Vegetable is not just a medical term, it is a cooking term. So the qualifications to become a vegetable are not very coherent, which is why we have cases like the tomato: people argue both ways.
