If you are a diabetic, diet is a major part of managing your condition. It is generally agreed that a diabetic diet should be low in sugar and refined carbohydrates, while relatively high in dietary fiber, especially soluble fiber. So avoid starchy vegetables, saturated and trans fats, fried foods, high-calorie beverages, white bread, cereal, pasta, and other simple carbohydrates.

However, you can enjoy non-starchy vegetables such as eggplant, zucchini, while whole grain food items like whole wheat bread, brown rice, and legumes are healthy. Find out more about healthy/unhealthy food choices, in the infographic below by Crystal Run Healthcare.
