10 Diabetes-Friendly Grain Alternatives
Millet
A staple in South Indian cuisine, this nutrient powerhouse is chock full of protein (six grams per cup to be exact), B vitamins, and bran, which aides in digestion. The high fiber content in millet slows digestion and releases sugar into the blood stream at a more even pace. Swap millet in recipes that call for rice, or use it to make a hearty, healthy and blood sugar- friendly hot breakfast cereal.
