Choosing Yogurt Wisely
A bowl of yogurt with granola is a popular breakfast choice for many, yet for those managing diabetes, selecting the right kind of yogurt is crucial. Unsweetened, whole yogurt is a safe and nutritious option for diabetics, as it doesn’t cause unwanted spikes in blood sugar levels. However, flavored yogurts, especially those further sweetened with sugary fruits and syrups, can significantly raise the glycemic index.
To avoid these spikes, diabetics are encouraged to prepare their own morning yogurt. By adding nuts and a serving of wholesome granola to unsweetened yogurt, they can create a tasty and balanced breakfast that helps maintain stable insulin levels.
