Regularly eating a poor diet can cause blood sugar levels to rise and increases a person’s risk of developing type 2 diabetes, so when it comes to controlling blood sugar and preventing the condition, it’s important to make changes to what you eat.
Experts say there’s nothing you cannot eat if you have type 2 diabetes, but certain foods should be limited.
You should aim to eat a wide range of foods, including fruit, vegetables and some starchy foods like pasta, keep sugar, fat and salt to a minimum, and eat breakfast, lunch and dinner every day – don’t skip meals.
But individual foods have also been found to hold blood sugar lowering properties, such as edamame.
