Why this fits a diabetes-friendly diet

At 8g of carbs per serving, it fits comfortably within most low-carb diabetes meal plans, and its estimated glycemic index of ~10 means the carbs it does have tend to digest slowly rather than spiking blood sugar fast, and 33g of protein per serving also helps slow digestion and blunt any post-meal rise.
