Berries

Blueberries are referred to as a diabetes superfood by the American Diabetes Association (ADA). The vitamins, antioxidants, minerals, and fiber included in berries help to maintain overall health. They could also help in disease prevention.

Blueberries may support weight reduction, insulin sensitivity, and glucose processing for diabetics. The efficient processing of glucose may be improved by blueberries. One 2010 research published in The Journal of Nutrition found that consuming blueberry smoothies helped obese adults with prediabetes improve their insulin sensitivity. According to the study, eating blueberries can make the body more responsive to insulin, which may benefit those who are prediabetic. Furthermore, because of their fiber content, berries are a blood sugar-friendly snack. 2 grams of fiber are present in a half-cup of blueberries, given its crucial role in regulating and maintaining blood sugar, fiber is likely one of the most crucial nutrients for patients with diabetes or prediabetes.
