What green vegetable is bad for diabetics?

Question

My father is diabetic, and we're trying to manage his diet better. We know some vegetables are good, but are there any green vegetables that are actually bad for diabetics and should be avoided?

Honestly, green veggies are mostly safe, but things like green peas can be a bit heavy on carbs compared to spinach or ladyfinger. My dad just avoids overeating peas in his meals and his sugar stays fine.

Green vegetables are generally excellent, but green peas (matar) have more starch and carbs, so you have to watch the portion. When I visited my doctor at Max Hospital, they gave me a customized diet chart. It's always best to ask your physician clearly instead of guessing.

Most green vegetables are highly beneficial for both sugar and blood pressure. Just be careful with how you cook them—avoid heavy oil or cream. Regular checkups and keeping an active lifestyle are what really keep the numbers down.

I was researching this for my grandmother and found out that while leafy greens are perfect, green peas have a bit more natural sugar. It's not bad for health, but diabetics just need to be mindful of how much they consume.

No green vegetable is strictly 'bad', but some like green peas have a higher glycemic load than leafy greens. I have to balance my insulin with PCOS too, so I just consume them in moderation with a good source of protein.
