“What foods can diabetics eat freely?”

Any healthy food in moderation is okay, e.g., fish, chicken, salads, etc.

Nothing is free. there is nothing you can eat "freely" Remember the words of Saint Paul "be temperate in all things" Still good advice today. Also remember that all calories count and add up so be moderate in all foods. You do not want to get or maintain fat. What you shouldn't eat are concentrated sweets such as sugared soda, candy bars, etc. You should also avoid saturated fats as they cause heart disease. You can eat about anything else but control the quantity so you do n ot get fat as that will make your diabetes worse & the complications of diabetes more likely.

The best diet for diabetes is a low carbohydrate diet. Find below the american diabetes association recommendations for a low carb diet

Diabetics can freely eat vegetables, especially fresh vegetables. Fruit, carbs should be limited because they can raise blood sugar. Protein intake should be no more than 0.5 gm/kg body weight.
