As we said before, consuming fiber is essential if you have diabetes because it helps slow the absorption of sugar, and, thankfully, strawberries are delicious high-fiber fruits. However, beware of certain desserts, such as pies and cheesecakes that include strawberries as toppings–they aren’t good for you.
Strawberries also have high amounts of magnesium, and, according to research, this nutrient can improve insulin resistance, reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes and enhance diabetes control. Tasty and healthy… what more could you possibly want?
