Which foods and fruits should I eat or avoid if I have diabetes? Is orange juice safe to consume? Are there any recommended medications or supplements to help manage my blood sugar?
To manage diabetes, focus on fiber-rich foods like leafy greens, whole grains, and whole fruits in moderation, such as berries and apples. Avoid refined carbohydrates, sugary snacks, and processed foods. While whole oranges are healthy, orange juice should be avoided as it lacks fiber and can rapidly spike your blood sugar. For medical management, doctors commonly prescribe generic medications like metformin. It is best to avoid relying on over-the-counter supplements without consulting your physician first, as they cannot replace standard medical treatment. Always work with your doctor to create a personalized plan.
