Current data from the [Centers for Disease Control (CDC)](https://www.cdc.gov/diabetes/library/features/diabetes-stat-report.html#:~:text=Key%20findings%20include%3A,1%20in%203%E2%80%94have%20prediabetes.) reveals that nearly 34.2 million Americans have diabetes and 1 in 3 Americans are prediabetic. The good news is that making small, healthy lifestyle changes —  like regularly including [blueberries](https://www.calgiant.com/blueberries)as part of your diet —  can delay, prevent or even reverse prediabetes.   1\. Blueberries provide an easy health boost Studies show that maintaining a healthy and well-balanced diet is critical in preventing or delaying diabetes. [Blueberries](https://www.calgiant.com/blueberries) are considered a diabetes superfood due to their innate ability to help diabetics process glucose more efficiently. Adding one serving of blueberries to your cereal, yogurt, salads, desserts, and smoothies can help satisfy your sweet tooth while acting as a good source of fiber, vitamin C, vitamin K, manganese, and more. ![a heart shaped bowl with blueberries in it](https://berrybuzz.calgiant.com/hs-fs/hubfs/cal%20giant%20diabetes.jpg?width=400&name=cal%20giant%20diabetes.jpg)   2\. Blueberries improve metabolic syndrome factors Scientific evidence supports that blueberries can play a huge role in diabetes management by improving metabolic syndrome risk factors like cholesterol and blood pressure. Blueberries are packed with dietary fiber and contain zero grams of fat, making them a great fruit to have in your everyday meals. Check out our favorite [recipes](https://www.calgiant.com/recipes/topic/blueberry?cg-filter-option=blueberry) for new ways to include blueberries in your diet!   3\. Blueberries can help improve insulin resistance Research from [Louisiana State University](https://fca.com/blogs/news/lower-blood-sugar-with-blueberries) found that insulin sensitivity was improved when two blueberry smoothies were consumed a day. By consuming blueberries regularly, you may be able to improve your insulin sensitivity.   4\. Blueberries are a great sweet tooth swap Blueberries (alongside [strawberries](https://www.calgiant.com/strawberries), [raspberries](https://www.calgiant.com/raspberries), and[blackberries](https://www.calgiant.com/blackberries)) are some of the best foods to reach for when you’re craving something sweet. The low glycemic index of berries provides plenty of sweetness without spiking blood sugar levels. ![greek yogurt blueberry popsicle](https://berrybuzz.calgiant.com/hs-fs/hubfs/berry%20breakfast%20popsicles.png?width=400&name=berry%20breakfast%20popsicles.png) Blueberry dessert idea: Fill a popsicle mold with Greek yogurt, blueberries, cinnamon, and honey then freeze overnight for a nutritious and delicious dessert! *How are you going to incorporate more blueberries into your diet?
