Diabetic tip - Pick High-Fiber Foods

Foods that contain soluble fiber, such as oats and barley, might help lower your blood cholesterol level and smooth out your blood sugar level so it does not rise too fast or too high after you eat. 

Other food sources of soluble fiber include beans, whole wheat and bran cereals, and many fruits and vegetables. If the fruit or vegetable peel is edible, leave it on for even more fiber.
