14 of the Best and Worst Carbs for Diabetes

I weighed in on this article for Healthination about good and bad carbs for diabetics:

Lentils, black beans, and pinto beans

These nutritious foods are considered a slowly digested resistant carb. The type of starch they contain converts slowly to glucose. “They are a low glycemic index food, which means that they do not produce a rapid spike in blood glucose,” says Maya Feller, MS, RD, CDN, of Maya Feller Nutrition. These hearty legumes are good sources of protein, fiber vitamins, and minerals. They’re also a filling and satisfying meat substitute. Instead of using ground beef in tacos or chili, use lentils or beans.
