Anyone know any good diabetic friendly recipes?

[Dionaea08]

My first post on any of the forums outside of the welcome forum and reviews, so sorry if I'm doing this wrong I am still unsure of how the forums work. My dad is diabetic and we recently had my brother's friend who is also diabetic move in with us. My family is always looking for diabetic friendly recipes and I'm always looking for something new to try cooking or baking.

Since cooking is apart of this forum I thought I'd give it a shot , so if anyone has any good Recipes to recommend please do it would be much appreciated.

Here's one!

All you need is boneless chicken breast, Vegetables like cherry tomatoes, onions; Olive oil, herbs and spices such as oregano, garlic powder, and black pepper.


Now, first of all, cut the chicken and vegetables into bite-sized pieces.
Thread the chicken and vegetables onto skewers.
Brush with a small amount of olive oil and sprinkle with herbs and spices.
Grill until the chicken is cooked through and the vegetables are tender.
Now serve. Viola!

It will help manage blood sugar levels while being delicious, nutritious and easy in making!

developed diabetes at a young age, struggling to manage it due to irregular sleep patterns. Bitter gourd helps lower my sugar levels somewhat. I've noticed the benefits of millets too, as my dad successfully reduced his sugar levels by cutting down on rice, staying active, and incorporating millets into his diet. While his levels have improved more than mine, he still uses insulin for management.

One thing you can always Search is "Keto swaps" for baking or whatever food you're used to eating.

You ofc don't have to commit fully to a Keto diet, (and that's not recommended) but the term is useful because it almost always means low sugar or no sugar.

If you're diabetic I recommend you to have foods containing low glycemic index (GI). This GI score tells how fast our blood sugars are increased when we eat that food. So lesser the score is better. I recommend you try including millet in your diet. Millets have a low glycemic index and are good sources of minerals, proteins etc., So try to include them in your daily dishes as a replacement for rice or oats or wheat. I advise you to start replacing it in small quantities, as they take more time to digest and also a sudden shift in your diet style will give you problems like stomach aches and flatulence.

Quinoa, Sorghum, Foxtail millet, and Finger millet are popular choices these days. You can search online for more recipes according to your diet choices.
