Healthy, Science-Backed Foods That Can Help With Diabetes

A Few Berries Can Go A Long Way

Whether you love strawberries, blueberries, or raspberries, they all can help fight against diabetes. A study published in the journal Obesity by researchers from the Illinois Institute of Technology found that berries can improve insulin resistance. Specifically, people who consumed two cups of raspberries daily had lower blood sugar levels.

Even a small serving of berries can lower your risk of developing diabetes. According to a Chinese study, eating just 17 grams of berries led to a 5% decrease in the risk of type 2 diabetes. To give you an idea, this amount is roughly equivalent to thirteen blueberries, nine raspberries, two blackberries, or one large strawberry.
