Eggs
Eggs, particularly egg yolks are rich in chromium, a mineral that plays a role in the metabolism of carbohydrates into glucose and is known to lower blood sugar levels. Eggs also decrease inflammation, improving insulin sensitivity, allowing our bodies to use glucose in the blood effectively. These poultry products also increase HDL or good cholesterol, as well as control LDL or bad cholesterol, improving blood vessel circulation affected by diabetes. In addition to these benefits, eggs also are good for the eyes, thanks to lutein and zeaxanthin, antioxidants that protect our eyes from disease and damage caused by diabetes.
