TYPE-2 DIABETES: 8 SURPRISINGLY SAFE CARBS TO INCLUDE

POTATOES
Potatoes, as starchy vegetables, offer a substantial fiber content when consumed along with their skin.
PASTA
While pasta is a refined white carb, it digests its starch more slowly than other similar carbs. This characteristic helps in moderating the blood sugar response.
DRIED FRUITS
Certain dried fruits, such as unsweetened prunes, can be a nutritious and convenient addition to your diet with proper portion control.
CARROTS
Carrots are inherently sweet, but their sugar content is low. Just about 3 grams of natural sugar and 2 grams of dietary fiber can be found in one medium carrot.
CEREALS
Cereals are available in many different varieties, but as long as it's comprised of whole grains and doesn't contain any added sugar, you should be able to enjoy a bowl.
WHOLE GRAIN BREAD
It's not necessary to forbid bread. An excellent supply of whole grains and beneficial carbohydrates can be found in a slice.
NUTS
A weekly consumption of five servings of nuts reduces the risk of heart disease in people with type-2 diabetes by 17%. Nuts also lessen blood pressure, decrease inflammation, manage blood sugar levels, and enhance arterial health.
DAIRY
Although lactose, a natural sugar found in milk and other dairy products, is present, you can still include these foods in your healthy diabetes diet because they are higher in calcium and protein.
