MSN Health has a quick slide show from Prevention that lists 8 possible foods that may help prevent you from getting type 2 diabetes. There are a few surprises- like lowfat ice cream! Actually, it is lowfat dairy products that help, and lowfat yogurt is a better choice since it contains far more protein and calcium. At any rate, check out the list. All of these are really easy to incorporate into your diet, so sit down and plan on how you can use these foods to lower your risk of diabetes.

1) Coffee

2) Vitamin D (Milk, Eggs, or supplements)

3) Lowfat Ice Cream or yogurt

4) Cinnamon

5) fiber-rich whole grains, such as brown rice or quinoa

6) Carrots

7) High fiber cereal like barley- see also number 5 above

8 ) Magnesium- found in nuts and leafy greens. I recommend eveyone take a Calcium/Magnesium/Zinc supplement every day. They are dirt cheap and you can get them at the grocery store.
