Managing diabetes mindfully means more than just monitoring blood
sugar levels. It also means making prudent choices in your diet
to address the risk factors of common diseases associated with
diabetes, such as heart disease, high blood pressure and stroke.
Work with your physician and a dietician to create a meal plan
that best suits your needs. Research has shown that several
nutritional elements may be helpful in managing diabetes-related
issues:
1. Eat more magnesium-rich foods such as spinach, tofu, almonds,
broccoli, lentils, pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds.
2. Increase intake of foods rich in omega-3 fatty acids, such as
cold-water oily fish, fish-oil supplements, walnuts and freshly
ground flaxseed.
3. Choose foods that are lower on the glycemic index and have a
low glycemic load, such as beans, lentils and whole-grain breads
