What can I eat if I have type 2 diabetes?

Most people with type 2 diabetes do well building meals around non-starchy vegetables, a lean protein, and a modest, consistent portion of carbohydrate, rather than avoiding entire food groups. Whole grains, beans, and vegetables tend to work better than refined carbs and sugary drinks, since they digest more slowly. This is general information for wellness and education, not medical advice, so check your own targets with your doctor or a dietitian. Helthee can plan a week of dinners that fit a lower-carb, diabetes-friendly pattern.
