1.Fatty fish
Diabetes often leads to heart diseases. So to keep a healthy heart, one should have food rich in omega-3 fatty acids. Fishes like salmon, sardines, herring, anchovies, and mackerel are great sources of the omega-3 fatty acids DHA and EPA. This has a major benefit for heart health.
Getting enough of these good fats on a regular basis is especially important for people with diabetes, who have an increased risk of heart disease and stroke.

2.Leafy greens
Green leafy vegetables are extremely nutritious and low in calories and very good for diabetes patients. These vegetables are also very low in digestible carbs, or carbs absorbed by the body, so they will not significantly affect blood sugar levels.
Spinach, kale, and other leafy greens are good sources of many vitamins and minerals, including vitamin C which is required more by diabetes patients.

3.Eggs
Regular egg consumption may reduce heart disease risk in several ways. Eggs may decrease inflammation, improve insulin sensitivity, increase HDL, that is good cholesterol levels and reduce bad cholesterol. A 2019 study found that eating a high fat, low carb breakfast of eggs could help people with diabetes manage blood sugar levels throughout the day.

4.Nuts
Most types of nuts contain fiber and are low in net carbs, although some have more than others. Research on a variety of different nuts has shown that regular consumption may reduce inflammation and lower blood sugar and LDL or bad cholesterol levels. Nuts may also help people with diabetes improve their heart health.

5.Broccoli
Broccoli is one of the most nutritious vegetables that helps prevent many diseases. It has low calories and digestible carbs. It is rich in important nutrients like vitamin C and magnesium. Broccoli may also help manage your blood sugar levels.
One study found that consuming broccoli and sprouts led to a reduction in blood sugar levels in people with diabetes. This is most likely due to the presence of sulforaphane, a chemical in cruciferous vegetables like broccoli and sprouts.
