Blood Sugar Friendly Foods: What to Eat, What to Limit and Smart Swaps

Fill your plate with foods that keep glucose steady.

Quick answer

Blood sugar friendly foods are high in fiber, protein or healthy fat and low in refined sugar. Good choices include non-starchy vegetables, leafy greens, beans and lentils, eggs, fish, poultry, Greek yogurt, nuts, seeds, berries, apples, oats, quinoa and olive oil. Limit sugary drinks, white bread, pastries, sweets and ultra-processed snacks. Pair carbs with protein or fat, and eat vegetables and protein before starches to support gentler post-meal glucose.

How you eat matters too

Eat vegetables and protein before starches, never eat carbs alone, keep portions moderate and take a short walk after meals. RegenVive's white mulberry helps slow carbohydrate absorption, complementing these eating habits; take one capsule daily with food.

Personal advice: if you have diabetes or kidney disease, a registered dietitian can build a meal plan for your needs and medications.
