Can diabetics eat corn?

Since I have thyroid and borderline sugar, I am very careful. Sweet corn actually has a decent amount of starch and sugar, so it can cause spikes. It is best to do regular glucose tests and consult your doctor before making it a regular part of your diet.

You can definitely have some corn, but don't eat it like a movie theater popcorn tub! A small cup of boiled corn with lemon and chaat masala is a super tasty snack. Just don't go eating sweet corn soup daily!

In our traditional diet, local desi corn (bhutta) is much better and less sweet than foreign sweet corn. I have a small amount of roasted desi bhutta occasionally. Regular pranayama and a simple lifestyle also help keep my sugar levels very stable.

I panicked and completely stopped eating corn after my diagnosis. But my nutritionist reassured me that a small portion of boiled corn mixed with lots of raw cucumber, onions, and lemon juice is perfectly fine as an occasional evening snack.

In our villages, we used to eat local roasted corn in season, which has good fiber. However, the modern sweet corn is hybrid and has too much sugar. If you must eat it, keep the portion very small and eat it with fresh cucumbers.

I ate a small bowl of boiled sweet corn yesterday and my sugar spiked quite a bit. Does anyone else get sudden spikes from corn? I thought it was healthy because it is natural, but now I am really scared to touch it again.
