People with diabetes can enjoy any type of chocolate using the fat, fiber, and protein strategy I talk about often… but, if I had to pick one form of chocolate for diabetes, or the most blood sugar friendly option that still tastes good, it would have to be dark chocolate!

Most of the health benefits we see attributed to chocolate are for varieties that offer 70-85% cocoa. These types of chocolate contain:

Higher amounts of fiber
Significant amount of micronutrients like: iron, magnesium, copper, and manganese
Higher amounts of antioxidants

#ad Did you know a recent study published in the Journal of Nutrition seems to indicate that replacing refined sugar with pure maple syrup may have health benefits... including for blood sugars? And we’ve talked all the time here about how just because you have to pay attention to your blood sugars doesn’t mean you always have to opt for alternative or artificial sweeteners. Here’s 7 blood sugar friendly ways to enjoy pure maple syrup and the potential health benefits that come along with it.

As a registered dietitian, my biggest priority on this topic is helping you learn how to enjoy and eat more vegetables. And if canned or frozen vegetables help you do that, that’s wonderful!

Three possible causes of high fasting blood sugar levels:
Dawn Phenomenon
Somogyi Effect
Feet to Floor Syndrome

if you think you could be experiencing any of these situations, talk to your doctor or Diabetes care team about solutions.

My go-to springtime Veggie Chopped Salad recipe:
1 red bell pepper
1/2 red onion
1 seedless cucumber
4 celery stalks
1 can chickpeas
1/2 cup crumbled feta cheese
6-8oz turkey breast or chicken
6oz salad dressing of choice

Chop them all up and mix! Store in an airtight container in your fridge 👍 serve with your fave crackers or chips… or just enjoy it as is!

The nutrition content for this will vary, depending on the type of salad dressing you choose… But generally speaking, if you divide the salad into 6 equal size servings, each serving will have ~25g total carb, 5g fiber, and 12g protein.
