Find a new way to treat type 2 diabetes with nutrition. Check out a list of 13 foods that have been scientifically proven to reverse type 2 diabetes and help you on your way to better health and wellness.
1. Number one is Steel Cut Oats:
Steel-cut oats have a lower glycemic index compared to old-fashioned oats or instant oats. You can either cook it on the stove or put it in an instant pot to make it faster and make a big batch so that you can just heat it for breakfast for the rest of the week. It has valuable soluble fiber that can help you lower cholesterol and reverse insulin resistance. The magical thing is it can keep you full for a long time. You can also do toppings like cinnamon and berries or even matcha powder to make it more interesting.
2. Number two is Beans:
Beans are humble, but they have so many great benefits for you. Beans have all the protein you need, plus they also have soluble fiber which can help you lower cholesterol. They also have calcium and iron, and it's low in glycemic index. You can cook them from scratch; you can soak them and cook them in an instant pot or cook them on the stove. Sometimes it also is handy to have a couple of canned beans in your house so that you can use them for emergency purposes.
3. Number three is frozen vegetables:
I love cooking with frozen vegetables because it's so simple, shelf-stable, and it's so easy. It is faster to cook frozen vegetables as well. If I'm tight on time, all I have to do is pop in some frozen broccoli and microwave it, and there you go, there are my veggies for the meal. Frozen vegetables have the same nutrients as fresh vegetables. You can do broccoli, cauliflower, squash, carrots, and even Brussels sprouts.
4. Number four is lentil soup:
If you're looking for a quick meal, a can or a box of lentil soup is very easy and happy to have in the house.
5. Number five is Hummus:
You can use hummus in your sandwich; you can use it as a dip as well. But usually, hummus that you buy in the stores is quite high in fat, so it's better to make it at home. And it's super easy to make; you just use a food processor or a blender to blend chickpeas, sea salt, lemon juice, garlic powder, or any other spices you like in there, and you can keep it for the whole week.
6. Number six is chickpeas:
Chickpeas are great to add to your soups, your salads, to your meals. You can even add it to your stir-fries or pasta as well. You can also make a chickpea hash for breakfast as well. Same with beans, you can cook it from scratch, or you can keep it in the can so that you can have some shelf-stable items.
7. Number seven is condiments:
You can use Dijon mustard in sandwiches, lemon juice or apple cider vinegar in salads, and salsa and hot sauce for any dishes you like.

8. Number eight is brown rice:
Brown rice is a healthy alternative to white rice. It has a lot more fiber and protein which lowers the glycemic index of rice. A lot of people have not tasted properly cooked brown rice, so to cook brown rice, you can cook it like pasta where you put a lot of water in it like it's too much, and then once it's ready, you can drain all the excess water and voila, it's ready.
9. Number nine is Barley:
You can add barley to soups, and you can also prepare it as a side dish or mix it with rice. It has a low glycemic index, lots of soluble fiber, and it has a wonderful taste and texture.
10. Number ten is Spaghetti Sauce:
Now spaghetti sauce can be healthy. There are even brands that add extra vegetables to pasta salads. But you want to be careful to look out for cheese or oil or sugar that they add into sauces. You want to be able to look for pasta sauces without added cheese, added oil, or a lot of added sugar. Sometimes a little bit of added sugar is the best that you can find on the market, and that's okay. But the best ones are to find the ones without oil or cheese. And you can pick your favorite lower glycemic pasta like whole grain pasta or even chickpea and lentil or quinoa pasta to go with it.
11. Number eleven is Meat Substitutes:
Now I don't usually recommend people do a lot of meat substitutes because they can be high in fat as well. It doesn't mean that they're healthy, but if you want something to help you kind of transition to a more plant-based lifestyle, meat substitutes might be a good idea. And if you're looking for meat substitutes, make sure that it's under two to three grams of fat per serving to keep the fat low.
12. Number twelve is Nutritional Yeast:
You can find nutritional yeast in the supplement aisle at health food stores or even grocery stores. You can find them online. It can dissolve into spaghetti sauces, stir-fries, casseroles, and soups. Not only does it have vitamin B12, which is hard to find on a plant-based diet, but it also has a good amount of protein. It also gives a cheesy flavor as well.
13. Number thirteen is Fresh Fruits:
It's the perfect snack you can have. It's full of fiber water vitamins and minerals, so you want to keep it on hand. So buy some extra for yourself and your family.
