VinBar's List of Healthy Foods for Diabetics is really part of the ideal diet for diabetics, and it's is a delicious, nutritious way to you're your sugar under control but enjoy life as well. And, while the common 'wisdom' is to stay away from all things carb and sugar, that's just isn't the case. Check out my list below.

Healthy Foods for Diabetics

Be Full of Beans! The lowly bean is delicious and nutritious. There's kidney beans, black beans, navy beans or pinto beans to tickle your fancy (if not your nostrils!). Half a cup of these beans every day is enough to fulfill your nutritional requirements.

Beans are full of fiber, and important nutrients, like magnesium and potassium. A single serving of beans can offer you as much protein as an ounce of meat-minus the saturated fats that are UN-healthy foods for diabetics.

Leafy Green Vegetables Low calories and great nutrition make the leafy greens a great choice. Some of the top picks in green leafy vegetables include kale, spinach and collards. Make sure that you have these vegetables fresh to enjoy maximum benefit. Calcium, Vitamins A and E: the leafy greens are tops on the Vinbar Healthy Foods for Diabetics list! All it takes is a little olive oil and garlic and you've got a great healthy side dish!

Citrus Fruits Diabetics CAN enjoy a little bit of sweet food after all. Lemons, limes, oranges and grapefruits are packed with the anti-oxidant Vitamin C and are high in fiber. And did I say they're sweet?

Sweet Potatoes and Yams Who would have thought's they'd find potatoes on the a list of Healthy Foods for Diabetics! Use them instead of the regular potatoes and you could make a great deal of difference to your overall glycemic index. Sweet potatoes and yams are also an excellent sources of Vitamin A and fiber.

Berries Berries are absolutely filled with anti-oxidants, which are a must for the diabetic. Berries not only taste great but offer numerous health benefits, too. Their antioxidants destroy the free radicals that can do so much damage. Besides, they're also packed with vitamins and fiber. Go for blueberries, strawberries, raspberries or any other berries of your choice.

Tomatoes Tomatoes are full of healthy nutrients. Vitamins C and E are found in high concentrations in tomatoes. Eat 'em raw in a salad, or cooked in a sauce or soup. Alternatively, you can opt for tomato juice as well. (But don't go the juice route for the citrus!)

Fish Fish is a diabetes wonderfood; it's probably tops on the Healthy Food for Diabetics list. But you need to be careful about the fish you choose. What you need is fish that are high in omega 3 fatty acids. Wild-caught salmon is the best option here, but also look at cod, sardines, anchovies. Also don't forget the cod liver oil!

Whole Grains Yes, you can still have some bread! Just remember VinBar's motto: "If it's white, it ain't right!" Unlike processed grains, whole grains offer a lot more nutrients and fiber. Whole grain contain nutrients like magnesium, chromium, potassium and omega 3 fatty acids. Barley, maize, and oats are some good choices in whole grains.
