Fresh fruit and yogurt

Around 50g of nonfat yogurt contains only about 90 calories and 19g of carbohydrates, making it suitable for people with diabetes. A serving of yogurt provides ample protein, promoting satiety and slowing down sugar absorption into the bloodstream. Combining yogurt with fruits like apples, pears, or grapes adds fiber, vitamins, and minerals.

Dark chocolate avocado pudding

This rich and delicious treat satisfies sweet cravings without the blood sugar spike. The healthy fats in avocado and the mild sweetness from milk provide monounsaturated fats, which don't raise blood sugar levels. Avocados are also high in fiber, helping you feel full. Combine unsweetened fresh milk with chia seeds for a smooth base, then blend avocado with dark chocolate and enjoy.

Frozen strawberries

Strawberries have a low glycemic index and are rich in nutrients that support blood sugar control. They're packed with fiber, which slows down sugar absorption and reduces cravings. Frozen strawberries also offer plenty of vitamins, minerals, and antioxidants that benefit the health of people with diabetes.

Honey-steamed pears

Pears are high in fiber and potassium and have a low glycemic index, making them suitable for those managing diabetes. Honey has anti-inflammatory and antibacterial properties that can help reduce inflammation. Steaming a pear with two teaspoons of honey and enjoying it daily can help control blood sugar and boost immunity.

Agar-agar jelly

Agar-agar jelly is low in calories, making it a good choice for weight management in people with diabetes. Adding fruit to the jelly boosts fiber and natural sweetness, further slowing down sugar absorption and aiding digestion. When making the jelly, use 1–2 teaspoons of sugar to avoid excessive sweetness. Coffee or milk can be added for extra flavor.
