Dates are a great choice for a person with diabetes as they can help control sugar cravings, and they are low on the glycemic index, according to NBC News. The carbohydrates in dates provide instant energy, and the high fiber contained in dates is good for digestion.
Dates are loaded with anti-oxidants and are fat free and cholesterol free, which is good for any health-conscious individual, not just diabetics. Several necessary minerals are also found in dates, such as calcium, potassium, manganese and magnesium, reports StyleCraze. Prevention Magazine suggests eating dates straight from the bag, adding them to salads or smoothies, or chopping them and eating with oatmeal.
