Is mac and cheese good for diabetics?

My doctor told me I need to watch my sugar and carb intake because of my diabetes. My grandkids love mac and cheese, and sometimes I feel like having it too. But is mac and cheese good for diabetics?

Nahi beta, refined maida and processed cheese will shoot your blood sugar instantly. Eat barley daliya or addition of methi seeds in your food instead.

I understand the craving, but it has too many simple carbs. If you must eat, make it with whole wheat pasta and add lots of vegetables to control the spike.

If I eat mac and cheese, my glucometer starts crying the next morning. It is tasty, but definitely a disaster for diabetes.

I was looking this up for my dad. It seems the high carb content in regular pasta is really bad for insulin levels.

Nahi babu, ye bacho wala khana sugar walo ke liye thik nahi hai. Sadha ghar ka khana hi sabse badhiya hota hai.
