Are sweet potato fries good for diabetics?

I used to get so stressed thinking sweet potato fries would ruin my mother's sugar levels. But we found that if we air-fry them with very little oil and serve a small portion, her readings stay completely normal. No need to panic, just manage the portion and cooking method.

In our traditional diet, shakarkandi is eaten roasted on coal, which is very healthy. But deep-frying it in modern oil is not good for diabetics. If you want to eat sweet potatoes, eat them boiled with a little black salt and lemon juice in limit.

I have managed my diabetes for twenty years now. While sweet potatoes have a lower glycemic index than white potatoes, frying them destroys most of the health benefits. Avoid the fried versions and stick to simple boiled sweet potato.

Frying sweet potatoes increases their glycemic index significantly, which can cause sudden sugar spikes. If you really want them, bake them or air-fry them at home without excess oil. Always monitor your post-meal blood sugar to see how your body reacts.
