Why this fits a diabetes-friendly diet

At 77g of carbs per serving, it's worth pairing with protein or fat and watching portion size to keep the resulting blood sugar rise gradual, and its estimated glycemic index of ~40 means the carbs it does have tend to digest slowly rather than spiking blood sugar fast, and 10g of fiber per serving adds the same slowing effect.
