Whole-grain tortillas

Whole-grain tortillas are not only delicious and versatile, but if you have diabetes they may be a great addition to your lunch. They have potassium, manganese, iron, and B vitamins. To prevent heart disease, diabetes, obesity, and several forms of cancer, you should consume half of the grains you eat as whole grains.

One large whole grain tortilla really has about 7 grams of fiber, which helps control blood sugar levels. Add your favorite spread, such as hummus or tzatziki, on a whole grain tortilla along with some fresh vegetables and your preferred protein for a quick, nutritious meal. If you're still hungry, get an additional salad or some raw veggies to go with it.
