If you're living with diabetes, it's important to keep close tabs on the foods you eat so as to keep your symptoms in check.
Now, one diet has been deemed the "gold standard" in diabetes care. The Consensus Report by the American Diabetes Association (ADA) and the European Association for the Study of Diabetes (EASD), Management of Hyperglycemia in Type 2 Diabetes, 2019, cites evidence that the Mediterranean diet is an effective component of diabetes lifestyle management.
