Why this fits a diabetes-friendly diet

With only 12g of carbs per serving, it's a lighter-carb option without needing a strict low-carb framing, and its estimated glycemic index of ~18 means the carbs it does have tend to digest slowly rather than spiking blood sugar fast, and 12g of protein per serving also helps slow digestion and blunt any post-meal rise, and 8g of fiber per serving adds the same slowing effect.
