Avocados and Blood Sugar: A Cautious Approach

 


Ingredients

1/2 Fresh Avocado: Provides approximately 5.9g of carbohydrates and 4.6g of fiber.

Healthy Fats: Rich in monounsaturated fats (about 6.7g per half-avocado) which support heart health.

Vitamins and Minerals: Contains nearly 20 essential nutrients, including Vitamin K, C, E, and potassium.

Low Sugar: Avocados have the least amount of sugar per serving compared to most other fresh fruits.

    Instructions

    Selection: Choose a ripe avocado that yields slightly to gentle pressure.

    Preparation: Slice the avocado in half, remove the pit, and scoop out the green flesh.

    Portion Control: Stick to approximately one-third or one-half of an avocado daily, as they are calorie-dense.

    How to Make Use of It

    Daily Supplement: Adding half an avocado to a standard meal can decrease the desire to eat by up to 40% for three hours without increasing blood sugar levels.

    Replace Carbohydrates: Swap high-carbohydrate energy sources (like refined breads or cookies) with avocado to help stabilize blood sugar and insulin concentrations.

    Smoothies: Blend avocado with low-carb ingredients like spinach, zucchini, or blueberries for a nutrient-dense, diabetic-friendly snack.
