1. French bean=kidney beans
Juice extract of kidney beans with brussel sprout juice is a suggested help in diabetic sugar metabolism.

5.Olive oils are the best for us. no saturated fats

6.Fruits and vegetables; Lots of fruits and vegetables.Colorful ones seem to have the best nutrient variety.
Cruciferous  veggies like brussel spouts, broccoli and cauliflower are just a few. Radishes,horseradish are a couple more.

7. Chicken and turkey; Baked, boiled or broiled not fried (shake and bake with your own whole wheat herb coating) It's good better for you. Use olive oil to hold the coating to the pieces.

A balanced diet, well supplemented with vegetables, fruits and juices should be ideally taken. Also, you should indulge in an active lifestyle. Walking is a must on a regular basis. Smoking and drinking must be avoided.  Regular exercise of course but don't over do it. This should enable a diabetic to live a healthy life style.

Diabetic Foods to avoid
1. red meat
2. saturated fats (those that are solid at room temperature)
3. Avoid dairy products and butter because they have saturated fats. Before chicken preparation, take the skin off. Also, strive to avoid butter and margarine.Use olive oil instead with herbs and spices. Hydrogenated oils are processed foods and they are not good for you for many reasons.
