How Can Cheese Affect You If You Are on a Diabetic Diet?




People have had this misconception that cheese can have a negative impact on you if you have diabetes, regardless of the stage you are at. But this is only a misconception far as the glycemic index of cheese is concerned. If you have the habit of eating food items that have high glycemic index then you can expect your blood sugar to shoot up exponentially.







Cheese is very low on the glycemic scale and will have minimal impact on your sugar level. It is actually a great option for people suffering from diabetes as they can add cheese to their daily snacks without worrying about their sugar levels – but choosing one that has low-fat should be a priority.

If you love cheese and want to add it to your diet then you can do that by simply keeping tabs on the calorie value of the cheese you are choosing – avoiding type 2 cheese should be a priority.

Cheese falls in the bracket of dairy products that have lower GI when compared to milk and yogurt. For a healthy snack that has low index, doctors and dieticians like Nirmal Singh 3C suggest eating cheese that is part-skimmed, and has next to zero grams of carbs. So according to experts, you can eat cheese if you invest in low-fat versions and keep y our saturated fat as low as possible.

While eating cheese, make sure that:

·       You eat in small servings and don’t eat type 2

·       Use it to increase the taste of dish

·       Don’t use it to build your entire meal with it

·       And most importantly, choose cheese that has a low calorie value









Factors that may affect your blood sugar

You should keep several factors in mind about the food you are eating, especially if you are diabetic. You should keep an eye for the form of food, how it is prepared and how much time it took to prepare it – cooking time can take cheese higher on the scale of GI. If you are suffering from diabetes, it is vital for to keep a check on your sugar level especially if you are not using carbs for calorie intake and have replaced them with cheese.

So, the bottom line is that cheese won’t affect your diabetes diet if you are carefully maintaining your sugar levels and only using cheese as a snack and not as a part of your full course meal.
