What foods are best to eat when you are a borderline diabetic ?

Food very low in sugar and carbohydrates. Nothing processed either.

Low sugar

NOT carbohydrates especially refined carbs like sugar and flour.

Protein and fat pose no problems as they do not get converted into glucose in our bodies,

Eat a low carb high fat diet (LCHF google it) and your diabetes will disappear.

Cut out the junk food, soda, alcohol, sugar, chocolate, pastries, cakes and white bread is the basic things to cut out - I am now type 2 diabetic and my bloods are always good and I eat things like chicken, fish or wholemeal pasta with potatoes veg or side salad, have to be careful with fruit as it contains sugar and bananas contain carbs which turn to sugar, for snacks I have things like home made veg soup or sugar free yogurt but exercise is very important for diabetics, Google diabetic menu and you find lots of ideas, you still have a chance to prevent type 2 diabetes, I wish I had changed my diet when I still had a chance, Good Luck

your dietitan or doctor would tell you, OR research it.

ask your doctOr

Hey Safari, I am so glad you are looking for the optimal, healthy, and natural way to combat T2D.

Diabetes can be prevented, and reversed via diet and nutrition.

Every honest health body agrees, reducing cholesterol, saturated and trans fats.

Then increasing fiber, and healthy plant foods, is the best way to reverse diabetes.

The fiber and phytonutrients in unrefined plant based foods actively help control glucose levels in our blood, they provide a stable insulin response, without pushing you into a fasted state.

You should also know that animal products are just as, if not more insulinogenic than refined sugars.

Glucose is our primary source of energy, all healthy plant foods like: yams, plantain, brown rice, bean/peas/legumes, lentils, quinoa, oats, barley, wholewheat pasta/cous cous, sweet potatoes, parsnips, cassava, leafy greens, veggies and fruits have most of their calories in the form of carbs. We should enjoy them without restriction, and stay away from cholesterol, trans and saturated fats.

We have a relationship with plant carbs, just like we have a relationship with gut bacteria, and mitochondria.

You can get your healthy oils from Avocados, nuts like walnuts, and seeds like flax, chia and pumkin.

These foods are great for you and in the right combos form almost any meal you can think off.

they provide: phytonutrients, antioxidants, fiber, vitamins and minerals. this also helps control cholesterol levels, reduce inflammation, improve blood flow, feed good gut bacteria and prevent against cancer.

since they are high in water and fiber content, they will keep you feeling full for longer.

If you happen to find science that contradicts mine, we can have a discussion about how they achieved those results.

Definitely low refined carbs...and sugar/ even diet drinks.

Eat 'real' nutritious food...type 2 diabetes can be reversed by diet alone.
