A Few Berries Can Go A Long Way

Strawberries, blueberries, and raspberries are all beneficial in the fight against diabetes. Researchers from the Illinois Institute of Technology reported in the journal Obesity that berries help with insulin resistance. Those who consumed two cups of raspberries every day had reduced glucose values. Berries, even in little amounts, can help reduce the risk of diabetes. A Chinese study found that eating 17 grams of berries reduced the incidence of type 2 diabetes by 5%. That’s 13 blueberries, 9 raspberries, 2 blackberries, and 1 giant strawberry.

Peanut Butter Can Prevent Blood Sugar Spikes Later On

Natural peanut butter has a low glycemic index and is quite satisfying. Peanut butter, according to registered dietitian Erin Spitzberg, “will slow digestion and keep you fuller for a little longer.” The delayed digestion will also keep blood sugar levels stable later in the morning. In a 2018 pilot trial, persons who ate two tablespoons of peanut butter with white bread and apple juice had a less severe blood sugar surge. Spitzberg, on the other hand, suggests spreading peanut butter on your favorite whole grain toast or porridge.
