Diabetes-Friendly Cooking Tips

Choose Low Glycemic Index Ingredients

Opt for ingredients that have a low glycemic index to help maintain stable blood sugar levels. These include whole grains, legumes, and most non-starchy vegetables.

Measure Carbohydrates Carefully

Use measuring cups and food scales to accurately track carbohydrate content in your recipes, which is essential for proper insulin dosing and blood sugar management.

Incorporate Healthy Fats

Include sources of healthy fats like avocados, nuts, seeds, and olive oil, which can help slow the absorption of glucose and improve insulin sensitivity.
