Can diabetics eat butternut?

With my insulin resistance, I am always careful with sweet-tasting vegetables like butternut. It has a moderate glycemic index, so I only eat a small portion cooked with some healthy fats. Everyone's body is different, so definitely test your response first.

Butternut is a good source of complex carbs and fiber, making it a decent pre-workout meal option. It shouldn't cause huge spikes if you're physically active. Just roast it with olive oil and spices instead of making sweet dishes out of it.

Yes, but in moderation as it has some starch.

I was just reading about this because my dad has diabetes. It seems butternut squash has a low to medium glycemic load, which makes it safe if you don't overeat. Has anyone tried making soup with it, and did it affect your levels?

Butternut squash thoda meetha hota hai, toh limits mein hi khana sahi rahega. Aisa nahi ki dher sara khao aur socho kuch nahi hoga. Choti katori se ek portion khao aur khush raho.

I completely understand the anxiety of looking up every single ingredient before you put it on your plate. When I was diagnosed, I was scared of anything that tasted slightly sweet. But butternut is full of fiber and nutrients, so you can enjoy a small amount without feeling guilty.
