EatingWell's Editorial Guidelines Updated on March 1, 2023 Share Tweet Pin Email Chances are, you're here because you want to eat better, keep your blood sugar at healthy levels and better manage your type 2 diabetes—or you're helping a loved one manage theirs. Well, you've come to the right place! Living with diabetes means that you need to pay special attention to your diet, which can feel overwhelming. But there's good news: what you eat can help prevent and manage diabetes. Eating well and moving more helps prevent the condition—even if your blood glucose level is already in what's considered to be a "prediabetes" range. (And if you have diabetes already, a healthy diet helps keep glucose levels in check.) From the best snack to help balance blood sugar to whether you can eat eggs or not, the articles and dietitian-approved recipes below offer inspiration and expert advice to help anyone living with diabetes (or caring for a person with diabetes) to make better, more delicious choices every day. You won't find a lot of confusing medical jargon here—just easy, healthy recipes and simple nutrition information you can trust.
