If you’re diabetic and trying to eat right – and really, who isn’t? – the American Diabetes Association (ADA) has released its list of “superfoods” for all diabetics. They are:
• Beans
• Dark green leafy vegetables
• Citrus fruit
• Sweet potatoes
• Berries
• Tomatoes
• Fish with omega-3 fatty acids
• Whole grains
• Nuts
• Fat-free milk and yogurt
These foods have high “fiber, potassium, healthy fats, magnesium and antioxidants.” And here’s a secret for those non-diabetics out there: these foods are good for you, too! Everyone should try and incorporate more of these into their diet.

I’m pre-diabetic (whatever that means exactly) and I don’t eat enough of any of these foods. Thanks for the list!
Oooh, Kori, I hope you don’t end up getting diabetes. But you’re not alone, I doubt any of us eat enough of these foods.
