Any diabetics here have thoughts on eating creamed corn?

[Kardel]

Lovely people! I'm managing diabetes and wondering about fitting creamed corn into my diet. Any diabetics out there with thoughts or experiences on this? Is it a yay or nay? I'm trying to eat well without missing out on my favorites. Would really value your input! Thanks!

Hey there! I'm not diabetic myself, but I've heard that creamed corn can be a bit tricky because it's higher in carbs and sugars. Some folks might be able to enjoy it in moderation, especially if they pair it with some protein or fiber to balance out the blood sugar spike. Maybe some grilled chicken or veggies alongside? But as always, it's best to consult with a healthcare pro or a nutritionist to tailor your diet to your specific needs. Take care!

Hello. When enjoying creamed corn, I try to focus on portion size and balance it out with protein and healthy fats. Though it can be tempting to indulge, keeping an eye on serving sizes helps me keep my blood sugar in check.

As someone living with diabetes, I enjoy creamed corn in moderation and with careful consideration. I opt for versions with minimal added sugars or make it myself using fresh ingredients. Pairing it with protein and healthy fats helps slow down the absorption of carbs and prevents blood sugar spikes. It's all about finding a balance that allows me to enjoy delicious foods while managing my health!
