It occurs when the level of glucose in the blood is higher than normal. Objective: characterize aspects related to healthy food consumption in diabetics. Method: a review of the literature available in databases such as SciELO, Scopus and ClinicalKey was carried out, of which a total of 15 related articles were consulted, empirical methods such as logical history and analysis and synthesis were used. Results: Diet is an important aspect that must be educated on how to adjust food intake. Stevia is a natural sweetener with 0 calories, an alternative to sugar and artificial sweeteners. The leaves of the plant are 30 times sweeter than cane sugar, and the sweetener obtained is 300 times sweeter than sucrose. Cranberry contains anthocyanosides, powerful antioxidants that strengthen blood vessels and capillary walls, improve red blood cells and stabilize collagen tissues, such as tendons, ligaments and cartilage, and have cholesterol-lowering effects. Conclusions: This study highlights the positive effects of the implementation of stevia and blueberries in the production of healthy foods for diabetic people, also showing that society is becoming more aware every day of the production of foods that expand the nutritional possibilities for diabetics. diabetics.
