Frozen vegetables for cooking simple veggie soup and have a cup or half cup before dinner.

im type 2 diabetic

I'm a type-2 diabetic myself. I've been able to get off insulin and medication by following the Glycemic Index Chart. This gives you a list of foods that trigger a low blood sugar response. Mainly it's going to be lean meats, veggies, certain nuts, beans.

Another thing that really helped me was avoiding any type of sugar or carbohydrate until my dinner. Once i had any sugar or carbs I would only crave it more throughout the day. Once you start that blood sugar spike it only wants go back up once it goes down. If my sugar went low simply 1 bite of an apple would bring it back up. My diabetes was so advanced that simply licking a candy would trigger crazy blood sugar levels. Our body's were not really meant to process the amount of sugar we typically consume. Thankfully I was taken off medication and I lost 60 pounds in the process. To think that for years I thought I was enjoying food when in reality I was killing myself.

I'd add some nuts and seeds!

If you need to limit fruit or just don't want the whole piece- you can cut into slices (sections for citrus) and freeze them flat on a tray and then bag or freeze directly in a zip bag (put enough in so you can prod them into a single layer when the bag is closed). Then you can eat one or two or three slices at a time.

Banana slices will eventually get brown in a week or so in the freezer but still taste good. Usually they last 2 weeks tops for me. I'm still enjoying slices of on-sale nectarines and strawberries I bought a few weeks ago.

Blueberries and grapes can just be tossed into little bags. Blueberries are low glycemic but grapes are little sugar bombs, so if you have problems with sugar then you need to limit them (also bananas).

Do you have an Aldi near you? They have some great diabetic friendly foods at low prices.

Things I recommend:

Eggs
Lunch meats
Cheeses
Greek yogurt
Wheat bread (better than white or honey wheat bread for diabetics)
Low carb tortillas (great for sandwich wraps)
Ground turkey
Pork chops
Ground beef
Protein bars (be careful as these can have high carb counts)
Peanut butter
Fresh and/or frozen fruits and veggies

Also, while you do need to limit sugar and carbs, keep in mind that “sugar free” items are not always carb free so you will want to pay attention to labels.
