Why this fits a diabetes-friendly diet

With only 18g of carbs per serving, it's a lighter-carb option without needing a strict low-carb framing, and its estimated glycemic index of ~28 means the carbs it does have tend to digest slowly rather than spiking blood sugar fast, and 5g of fiber per serving adds the same slowing effect.
