They simply never get old. – There are so many ways you can cook eggs to start your day on the right foot! Plus, unless you complement them with a lot of carbs, eggs are considered suitable for people with diabetes by the ADA (The American Diabetes Association). Eggs have a low glycemic index, which means they have practically no effect on a person’s blood sugar levels. That makes eggs very diabetes-friendly. In fact, diabetics can even benefit from eating eggs. – According to a study, if you have prediabetes or type 2 diabetes and eat eggs regularly (even one egg a day!), you may improve your fasting blood glucose levels and, in case of prediabetes, even reduce your risk of getting diabetes. Because eggs are high in proteins and nutrients and low in calories, they make you feel more full, helping you maintain a healthy weight, which is highly important for people with diabetes. In addition to being a good source of protein, which is mostly present in the albumen (egg white), the egg yolk provides you vitamins A, B-12, D, E, and K, minerals, such as iron, zinc, and copper, and healthy fats and antioxidants. Some people may see disadvantage in that eggs contain a significant amount of cholesterol, but a study shows that cholesterol in food has little effect on raising overall cholesterol levels in the body.
