Dinner is quite often considered the main meal of the day.
And no dinner is complete without a good tasty side dish! – It complement the main
dish and makes the meal more filling. There are so many variations of side
dishes, but many of them are full of carbs and fat, which makes it problematic
for people with diabetes to enjoy such side dishes together with their family
and friends.
Fortunately, there is still an abundance of side dishes that
you can cook and enjoy without sending your blood sugar into the stratosphere. To
put it short, you’d better stay away from side dishes that are high in carbs
and low in fiber, such as French fries, white bread, pasta, and rice, opting
instead for the ones made from vegetables.
Check out some of our favorite diabetes-friendly side
dishes, which are not hard to make and at the same time nutritious, tasty and pair
perfectly well with many different main courses.
