Is Kung Pao chicken a good meal option for those managing diabetes? I have a friend who loves the dish but is cautious about his diet. If anyone here has diabetes and has experience with Kung Pao chicken, could you share whether it's a viable option or something to avoid? Your insights would be really helpful!

Hey there! I have diabetes and enjoy Kung Pao chicken occasionally. The key is to watch the portion size and be mindful of the sauce, as it can be high in sugar and sodium. I usually ask for less sauce or make a lighter version at home. It's definitely possible to enjoy it in moderation. Hope this helps!
