2. Fish
Over the years fish has gotten somewhat of a bad rap. The main reason for this is because farmed fish tends to have a high amount of contaminants. However, eating fish is actually really good for you and can help lower blood sugar. Fish provides a good source of protein, which is important for controlling blood sugar levels. Eating protein does not raise the blood sugar and it also helps to keep you feeling fuller for longer.
Fish is one of the best sources of omega three fatty acids, which are important for maintaining a healthy diet. Some of the best choices of fish include trout, wild salmon, mackerel, halibut, and albacore tuna. Fish can be either baked, broiled, or pan fried. It is actually really easy to prepare. One of the easiest preparation methods is to simply season the filet with some lemon, salt and pepper and then bake it in a 425 degree F oven for about 20 minutes.
