You Can Do More Than Wear Gucci. Now You Can Eat It.

Many accomplished chefs toil for decades in the hopes of helming a restaurant that earns a Michelin Star, one of the industry’s most coveted accolades. Last week, one year after opening Gucci Osteria Tokyo, which serves Italian cuisine with a Japanese twist above the luxury brand’s second Ginza flagship store, executive chef Antonio Iacoviello learned the restaurant had made the cut. “It’s like a dream coming true,” Iacoviello told The Daily Beast. “It’s a big step for me.” He was headhunted by Gucci for their Tokyo location while working for chef Massimo Bottura at Osteria Francescana in Moderna, Italy (three Michelin stars).

Avocados—yep, they're a fruit—are low in carbohydrates and a great choice for people with diabetes. The healthy fats and other nutrients in avocados may also help with heart health, which is important since people living with diabetes have a higher heart disease risk. Just be sure to exercise portion control. Find the best vegetables for diabetics, too.

1 small apple: 78 calories, 12g carbohydrates (4g fiber, 16g sugar)

Research suggests that white fruits may be linked to lower stroke risk. Carry apples as an on-the-go snack or make a healthy apple crisp for dessert. Just be sure to eat apples with the skin on since peeling them reduces appetite-suppressing and blood sugar dampening fiber by 75%!

1 small pear: 84 calories, 23g carbohydrates (5g fiber, 14g sugar)

Pears are an excellent source of fiber, making them a great choice for people with diabetes. One medium ripe pear serves up a sweet treat without the blood sugar spike. Pair fresh pears with sharp cheddar cheese and add them to your list of quick and tasty diabetes-friendly snack ideas. One warning: Always opt for fresh versions over canned, which are traditionally packed in a syrupy liquid that ramps up the sugar content.

1 small Florida orange: 65 calories, 16g carbohydrates (3g fiber, 13g sugar)

Known to be high in vitamin C, oranges are also a good source of fiber. One small orange makes a convenient snack or a gorgeous addition to salads. Similarly, half a grapefruit is a good option for people with diabetes, too. Either way, be sure to eat the fruit rather than drink the juice to avoid blood sugar spikes!

Nutrition Facts

1 small kiwifruit: 61 calories, 15g carbohydrates (3g fiber, 9g sugar)

One of the richest sources of immune-boosting vitamin C, these green orbs are also high in blood-sugar-stabilizing fiber and low on the glycemic index—two reasons why one study found they help to lower blood sugar spikes after eating a bowl of carbohydrate-rich cereal.

Kiwis are linked to a list of other benefits for people with diabetes, too, including bringing down blood pressure.
