Sesame Seeds The micronutrient sesamin of these seeds lowers levels of an inflammatory chemical called Interleukin-6 that plays a VERY important role in insulin resistance AND type 2 diabetes.
Fortified Dairy and Non-Dairy Alternatives Boost your vitamin D with fortified milk or non-dairy alternatives. Vitamin D helps us respond to carbohydrates the RIGHT way. It helps put that pathway back in sync.
Mushrooms Mushrooms are a good source of protein, and opting for plant protein lowers the risk of diabetes.
Pinto Beans These beans are high in fiber. And fiber slows down the digestive system. The quicker we turn carbohydrates into sugar, the quicker they are absorbed into the bloodstream.
Strawberries Strawberry consumption decreases the risk of diabetes in obese individuals. These berries might not have as much fiber as other fruits but they are good at slowing down sugar absorption.
