If you have borderline diabetes (prediabetes), making dietary changes can help manage your blood sugar levels and prevent progression to type 2 diabetes. Here are some recommendations:

  • Non-Starchy Vegetables: Broccoli, spinach, carrots, and peppers are low in carbs and high in fiber.
  • Whole Grains: Opt for whole grains like quinoa, brown rice, and oats instead of refined grains.
  • Lean Proteins: Include chicken, turkey, fish, tofu, and legumes in your diet.
  • Healthy Fats: Incorporate sources like avocados, nuts, seeds, and olive oil.
  • Low-Glycemic Fruits: Berries, apples, and pears are good choices.
  • Limit Sugary Foods: Avoid sugary drinks, desserts, and processed snacks.

Foods to Avoid

  • Refined carbohydrates (white bread, pastries)
  • Sugary beverages (soda, fruit juices)
  • High-fat and processed meats

Always consult with a healthcare provider or dietitian for a personalized meal plan.
