Diabetes diet advice

For folks with type 2 diabetes, tuna is an excellent source of protein and a lean choice for sandwiches. It’s also low in carbohydrates and fat — making it an ideal addition to your plate.

Remember, to keep the potential impact on low, limit sweet condiments and pickles that can add extra carbs. Consider treating your scrumptious tuna sandwich with add-ins like , greens and freshly sliced tomatoes and cucumbers. And of course, opt for whole-grain high-fibre bread.
