   I think in the veggies section: asparagus, lettuce, etc.
   fruits: not many… fruits have natural sugar in them.

   Vegetables like tomato, cucumber, bitter gourd, carrot, cooked kidney beans, pumpkin, beans, cabbage, onion, spinach, etc. are good for diabetes.

   Here are some web pages to give you more information.

   Good luck to you.

   That’s a good question! The nutrient that affects blood sugar level is carbohydrate.

   All fruit has natural sugar, called fructose, which is a carbohydrate and should be avoided if you have diabetes and want to manage your blood sugar levels.

   Most vegetables are recommended except tomatos, onions, beets, and "starchy" vegetables such as potatoes, corn, peas and yams and legumes (like beans) because of their higheer carbohydrate content.

   But go wild on stuff like green beans, broccoli, spinach, cucumber, celery, green onions, you name it because the carbohydrate is very low.

   Eat protein and fats and these kind of vegetables and you’ll manage your blood sugar levels far better and need less medication and/or insulin.

   This is my diet and it works.

   Cheers,
   BB
