How to choose good chocolate for people with diabetes

    Thanh Thanh (Theo Eating Well) |

    People with diabetes can still eat chocolate if they choose the right type.

    Prioritize high-cacao chocolate

    Most of the health benefits of chocolate come from cocoa. Therefore, you should choose chocolates with high cocoa content to maximize potential benefits, preferably from 70% cocoa or more.

    In particular, adding dark chocolate to a healthy diet can help improve blood sugar control thanks to its ability to increase insulin sensitivity, helping cells absorb and eliminate glucose from the blood more effectively.

    Dark chocolate combined with physical activity can also bring positive benefits, including reducing blood sugar levels on an empty stomach.

    Choose the right sweetener

    People with diabetes can prioritize chocolates made sweetened by non-caloric sweeteners such as licorice. These substances increase blood sugar less than conventional sugars.

    Supplement with protein-rich ingredients

    Chocolate with additional protein-rich ingredients such as nuts is also a suitable choice. Protein and healthy fats in nuts help slow down sugar absorption and create a longer feeling of fullness.
