Similar to the Mediterranean diet, the plan recommends eating fruits, vegetables, and whole grains, along with lean protein sources like fish and poultry, and healthier fats like beans, nuts and vegetable oils, in addition to low-fat and fat-free milk is also recommended. And of course, this diet restricts salt intake, as too much salt can lead to high blood pressure. The standard DASH diet limits sodium to 2,300 milligrams, the equivalent of 1 teaspoon of table salt per day.

You can easily start by omitting soft drinks or adding fruits and vegetables to each meal. You can eat whatever you want while controlling your diabetes and protecting your heart. The core of this diet is moderation and balance. No diet is specifically recommended to prevent type 2 diabetes, but the DASH diet reduces the risk of a future type 2 diabetes diagnosis by 20%.

  2. The Mediterranean Diet is based on the traditional diets of 21 Mediterranean countries, represented by Greece, Italy, Croatia, Lebanon, Turkey and Monaco. In a nutshell, based on years of research and evidence, prioritize plant foods like fruits and vegetables, whole grains, beans, nuts, seeds, seafood, lean poultry, and unsaturated fats made from extra virgin olive oil. The Mediterranean diet isn't just about what you eat, it's also about how you eat. Taking the time to enjoy your meal, rather than eating while moving or watching TV, can help improve your health.


    There are several reasons why the Mediterranean Diet is good for diabetes. First, it's flexible. It's not a strict diet plan so you can completely tailor it to suit your goals. To control diabetes, you need to make changes to your lifestyle. Switch to a more homemade diet, increase activity, incorporate healthier foods into your Mediterranean diet. This diet also emphasizes high-fiber foods like whole grains, legumes, and fresh produce. Fiber is digested slowly, slowing the rate at which sugar enters the bloodstream, preventing blood sugar spikes. Many studies have shown that this diet not only reduces the risk of type 2 diabetes and cardiovascular disease, but also prolongs life and improves quality of life.

Studies have shown that diet offers physical and even psychological benefits for people with type 2 diabetes. It has also been shown to reduce risk by 20% have diabetes. However, diabetics need to be aware of the total amount of carbohydrates in each meal of the day. The Flexitarian Diet can be high in carbohydrates, which can affect blood sugar levels.

    The MIND Diet can help prevent or control diabetes. And like the DASH and Mediterranean diets, the MIND diet's menu follows the recommendations of the American Diabetes Association. A study published in the August 2013 issue of the journal Diabetologia found that people who follow a Mediterranean diet have a lower risk of developing type 2 diabetes than others. The study was based on dietary and diabetes data from more than 22,000 people who were followed for more than 11 years. Key researchers found that supervisors who followed the strictest Mediterranean diet had a 12% lower risk of diabetes than those who did not.
