Quinoa

Quinoa is one of just a few plant-based complete proteins that are widely available. Additionally, quinoa has a greater level of nutritional fiber than a lot of other grains. Because fiber and protein are thought to be crucial for maintaining blood sugar control, those who have diabetes may benefit from quinoa.

The nine essential amino acids that your body requires from dietary sources are all included in quinoa. It also has a low glycemic index, a metric used to determine how much food can raise or lower your blood sugar levels. For diabetics, quinoa salad may provide a quick and nutritious lunch option. Use whatever ingredients you have on hand, such as chickpeas, feta, cucumber, tomato, beans, avocado, onion, or bell pepper, to make it your own.
