cauliflower and broccoli

Both cauliflower and broccoli are rich in sulforaphane. Studies have shown that this compound can slow the production of glucose in cells and also improve tolerance to glucose. Both factors make these perfect for diabetes. Both are versatile foods that can fit into many meals, as they can be served raw, steamed, or roasted. Ground or grated cauliflower can also serve as a low-carb substitute for refined white rice.
