Meals for Pre-Diabetes and Diabetes

A Diabetic Diet is necessary to manage blood sugar levels for both pre-diabetic and diabetic individuals. This diet places an emphasis on complex carbohydrates – which are found in whole grains, vegetables, and legumes and release glucose gradually – providing a steady and controlled energy source that is essential for preventing sharp blood sugar fluctuations and maintaining more consistent glucose levels. Utilizing food choices that help stabilize glucose levels and promote sustained energy throughout the day, the diet prioritizes:

• Lean proteins (such as poultry, fish, tofu, and legumes)
• Healthy fats from sources like avocados, and olive oil
