FAQ

Type 2 diabetes is a condition where the body does not use insulin effectively, causing blood sugar levels to become too high. Over time, consistently high blood sugar can affect the heart, blood vessels, nerves, eyes, and kidneys.

Foods high in added sugars and refined carbohydrates can cause blood sugar to rise quickly, while diets high in fiber, whole foods, and nutrient-rich fruits and vegetables can support healthy blood sugar levels and overall metabolic health.

Consuming a diet that includes a variety of fruits and vegetables provides fiber, vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that can support healthy blood sugar levels. High-fiber foods such as leafy greens, avocados, sweet potatoes, and other vegetables can help slow digestion and the release of sugar into the bloodstream.
