Are egg noodles bad for diabetics?
I enjoy eating noodles sometimes, especially egg noodles. My doctor told me to watch my carb intake for my diabetes. Are egg noodles generally considered bad for diabetics, or can I have them in moderation?

Egg noodles are made of refined flour which is not good for high sugar. For diabetes, we must stick to whole grains like ragi or wheat. If you want to eat them, mix in lots of green vegetables to reduce the sugar spike.

It used to make me so sad to miss out on family Chinese food nights because of my diagnosis. Egg noodles have slightly more protein because of the egg, but they are still mostly refined carbs. Don't be too hard on yourself, just eat a tiny portion.

I know how exhausting it is when you just want to eat a simple plate of noodles but have to worry about your blood sugar spiking. Egg noodles do have refined flour, so they can raise sugar levels. Try to keep the portion very small.

My dad has diabetes and egg noodles definitely spike his sugar because of the maida. If you really want noodles, try whole wheat ones or millet noodles instead. They are much safer for glucose levels.

Yes, they are generally not recommended because they are made of refined flour which spikes blood sugar quickly. Opt for whole grain or millet-based alternatives instead.
