Diabetic seniors can manage their diabetes and be healthy by eating nutritious food. Below, learn which foods diabetic seniors should and shouldn’t eat.

Diabetic seniors should eat:

• Healthy carbs such as fruits, vegetables, whole grains, beans, peas, lentils, and dairy products that are low in fat
• High fiber foods such as prunes, apples, beans, whole wheat, and quinoa
• Lean protein meats, skinless and lean poultry
• Healthy fats such as nuts, avocados, and olives

Diabetic seniors shouldn’t eat:

• More than a moderate amount of alcoholic drinks
• Trans-fats and saturated fats
• Salty foods (processed or packaged foods have high amounts of salt)
• Sugary foods such as sodas, drink mixes, coffee creamers and many snacks. (“natural” juices and “no sugar added” often have high amounts of sugar)
