Low or No-Starch Vegetables
Starchy vegetables can send your blood sugar soaring, but you can still munch on non-starchy vegetables. These include healthy items like mushrooms, peppers, and garlic. These veggies have a minimal effect on blood sugar, and they contain important phytochemicals that may reduce the effects of diabetes.
In fact, garlic is known as a superfood for its antioxidant properties. It can be worked into most meals with ease, and can even be taken as a supplement if you don’t care for the flavor. This deliciously rich Italian food staple is also said to have antimicrobial properties, helping to prevent you from coming down with common illnesses like the cold.
