Pineapple and Mango Smoothie
Mangoes are good for people with diabetes. They have plenty of fiber, so they do not increase the levels of blood sugar as much as other fruits, like papayas which have less fiber. Besides this, they contain fructose. This is a kind of sugar brings about very little change in the blood sugar levels compared to the other types of sugar, such as sucrose and glucose.
However, pineapple, which is one of the main ingredients, has a high- GI and may increase blood sugar levels if consumed in larger quantities. Therefore, you should not have more than one serving at a time.
Lastly, this recipe contains chia seeds which have plenty of fiber and
less digestible carbs. You already know that fiber slows down the movement of food through the gut as well as its absorption, which prevents the blood glucose levels from rising.
