30 Best Foods to Eat for Diabetes

Chia Seeds

Chia Seeds

Being high in fiber but also low in digestible carbs is what makes chia seeds such a great foot for diabetics. Nearly all the carbs in chia seeds are fiber, which doesn't increase blood glucose levels.

The fiber of these seeds can even lower blood sugar levels by slowing the movement of food through the digestive tracts, thus slowing its absorption. Chia seeds are also super high in omega-3 fatty acids, so don't be afraid to throw them in smoothies or breads!
