Nutrition (per serving)
Why this fits a diabetes-friendly diet
With only 5g of carbs per serving, it's a lighter-carb option without needing a strict low-carb framing, and its estimated glycemic index of ~35 means the carbs it does have tend to digest slowly rather than spiking blood sugar fast, and 9g of protein per serving also helps slow digestion and blunt any post-meal rise, and 1g of fiber per serving adds the same slowing effect.
