Hi all! My friend is diabetic, and we're trying to figure out if udon noodles are a good choice for him. Does anyone know if they're safe for diabetics to eat, or should we look for alternatives? Your advice would be super helpful!

Udon noodles can be a bit tricky since they’re made from refined wheat flour, which can cause blood sugar spikes. It might be better to explore alternatives like shirataki noodles or whole grain options that have a lower glycemic index.

Udon noodles are made from wheat flour, so they can be high in carbohydrates, impacting blood sugar levels. If available, it's best to look for whole-grain udon noodles or low-carb alternatives.

Udon noodles can be enjoyed in moderation by people with diabetes, but it's important to keep an eye on portion sizes. They are made from refined wheat flour, which can cause a spike in blood sugar. If your friend wants to be safer, you might consider alternatives like whole grain noodles or vegetable noodles, which have more fiber and nutrients. Pairing any type of noodles with plenty of veggies and lean proteins can also help balance the meal and keep blood sugar levels steady.
