If you've recently been diagnosed with diabetes, you understand that there are some lifestyle changes you may need to make and diet is one of them. After considering your own personal restrictions, the most commonly recommended foods for those with diabetes include whole grains, fruits, vegetables, low-fat meats, certain dairy products, and healthy fats.

Seniors should avoid foods with excessive amounts of sugars and carbohydrates, and should steer clear from foods that seem healthy but are not, like processed foods and frozen meals. Microwave dinners often contain high levels of sodium and other additives that are better left in the freezer! When in doubt, stick to the basics or check out these recipes for people with diabetes.
