Instant Fiber Fixes for Diabetes

   
One of the easiest ways to control weight and blood sugar is to get the recommended 32 grams of daily fiber. Trouble is, most people with diabetes eat less than half that. The solution: Add 3 additional grams of fiber to each of your day’s meals (breakfast, lunch, dinner and two snacks) and you’ll double your fiber intake for the day and be right on target. To get those 3 grams (or more) try
1 apple or pear (4 to 5 grams fiber)
1/2 cup spinach (3 grams protein)
1/2 cup peas (4 grams)
1/2 cup raspberries (5 grams)
1/2 cup cooked whole-wheat spaghetti (3.5 grams)
1/2 cup hummus (3 grams)
