Split pea soup is high in protein and fiber, making it a very quick and healthy dinner option for busy diabetics. Just avoid adding high-carb sides like bread or croutons with it.

Haan, yellow or green split peas are very good for diabetes patients na. They have complex carbs and fiber which keep the blood sugar very stable. You can easily have it.

I always get so worried about hidden carbs in soups and peas. But from what I have read, split pea soup is actually very safe for diabetics due to its high fiber. Just make sure not to add potatoes to thicken it.
