    10 Tips to Eat Well With Diabetes

    7. Think Plant Fat

    Make canola oil or olive oil your go-to ingredients. Both are rich in monounsaturated fat. Canola oil also has heart-healthy omega-3 fatty acids.

    8. Make Salads Easier

    Prep so it's super-simple to throw together. Store a large spinach salad or vegetable-filled romaine lettuce salad in an airtight container without dressing. (You can add it later.) You can enjoy it with your dinner or as a snack for the next several days.

    9. Slice Up Dessert

    With a few chops of a knife, you can turn a few pieces of fruit into a beautiful fruit salad. Drizzle lemon juice over the top. Then toss to coat the fruit. The vitamin C in the lemon juice helps prevent browning.

    10. Outsmart Your Drink

    Watch the calories, sugar, and alcohol. If plain water doesn't appeal, you can try a fizzy, flavored (but not sweetened) water. Or sip no-calorie tea or coffee as the perfect finish to your home-made meal.
