A diabetic diet is designed to help manage blood sugar levels in people with diabetes by focusing on balanced, nutrient-rich meals. It emphasizes whole grains, lean proteins, healthy fats, and plenty of non-starchy vegetables while limiting refined sugars, processed foods, and simple carbohydrates. Portion control and consistent meal timing are important to avoid spikes or drops in blood glucose levels. The diet often includes foods with a low glycemic index, which are digested more slowly, helping to keep blood sugar stable. This approach supports overall health, weight management, and long-term blood sugar control.
