There are certain diets that were created especially for people who suffer from diabetes. One of the best ones is the DASH Diet (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) which is rich in nuts, fruits, and vegetables. But with the DASH Diet you will also be eating small portions of low-fat dairy, lean meat, fish, poultry, whole grains and heart-healthy fats which help to lower blood pressure, a condition many diabetics suffer from.
