Mediterranean Diet Food for Diabetes

By Parul Dube

The Mediterranean diet is a way of life rather than a set of guidelines to follow. So here are some diabetic-friendly Mediterranean meal ideas that emphasize a gluten-free, low-carb diet.

Fruits and Vegetables

Fruits and vegetables have a low glycemic index, which helps to keep the body's glucose levels stable. As a result, including a variety of fresh or frozen vegetables in your diet can help you maintain healthy blood sugar levels.

Whole Grains

Whole grains are low in carbohydrates and high in fibre and nutrients. As a result, eating whole grain foods such as quinoa, muesli, brown rice, whole-wheat pasta, oatmeal, and bread helps to regulate blood sugar.

Seafood

Omega-3 fatty acids are abundant in sea foods like salmon, sardines, tuna, and mackerel. They aid in the regulation of your body's cholesterol levels.

Nuts

Nuts are high in dietary fibres, minerals, antioxidants, and healthy fats with blood glucose-lowering properties.
