Beans & Lentils
“Dry beans and lentils provide a notable combination of plant protein and soluble fiber that can help boost feelings of fullness and help manage blood sugar levels,” Newgent explains. “Replacing some meat with beans or lentils can play a helpful role in heart health—which is of particular importance for people with diabetes.” Not sure how to include them in your diet? Koszyk says garbanzo beans, kidney beans, black beans, mung beans, and lentils can all be enjoyed in salads, soups, casseroles, and chili. She also suggests pureeing them to make hummus.
