Beans are high in fiber and fiber is also good for diabetics

Beans are good for diabetics...I am posting some articles for your reading. They are also high in fiber and fiber is also good for diabetics.

On a personal note:
One year before my diabetes diagnosis I spent a week in the hospital suffering from a bout of Diverticulitis... I had to gradually go on a high fiber diet and due to this when the diabetes hit one year later... it enabled me to better cope with my diabetes control. Beans became a part of my diet on a regular basis as well as other high fiber and healthy foods. Just be careful to watch portion sizes as well as things added to the recipe that might make it less healthy such as salt, fats, etc. However, everyone is different and if you cannot use them and know this for sure then by all means adjust your diet accordingly! Good luck on your diabetes path!
