There are certain diets that were created especially for people who suffer from diabetes and one of the best ones is the DASH Diet (Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension) which is rich in nuts, fruits, vegetables and legumes. 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 lower blood pressure, a condition many diabetics suffer from.
