Is macaroni and cheese good for diabetics?
My doctor told me to watch my sugar levels as I'm diabetic. Sometimes I crave comfort food like macaroni and cheese. Can diabetics have it, or is it a complete no-no?

Only if you want your glucose monitor to think it's Diwali! Better keep it for very rare cheat days.

No, refined flour macaroni has a high glycemic index. If you make it, use high-fiber vegetable pasta instead of normal white pasta.

As a diabetic, I strictly avoid it because it spikes my blood sugar within an hour. Stick to diabetic-friendly grains like oats or millets.

It's best to limit this. If your family is eating it, just have two spoons along with a large bowl of fiber-rich salad.

The combination of simple carbs and high saturated fats isn't ideal. It is best to consult your endocrinologist or clinical dietician.

My doctor saw my sugar level and asked if I opened a pasta factory. Save your health and stay away from mac and cheese.

Just like with PCOS insulin resistance, processed carbs like macaroni can cause rapid sugar spikes. Better to avoid it to keep your hormones stable.
