Spaghetti made from durum wheat is safe for people on a diabetic diet when eaten in limited quantities. However, if the spaghetti is made from refined flour or maida, then eating it can cause blood sugar spikes.<\/p>\n<p>Keep your blood sugar in check while eating spaghetti<br \/>\n\u2022 Try using spaghetti made from other types of low-carb and high-protein flour like buckwheat, barley and quinoa.<br \/>\n\u2022 You can consider using shirataki noodles instead of regular pasta as a healthier option.<br \/>\n\u2022 Reduce the portion size of spaghetti in your meal. The amount of spaghetti should ideally not exceed 45 grams or 1 serving of carbs.<br \/>\n\u2022 Add lean protein such as chicken, fish, paneer, and vegetables for fibre to your spaghetti. This will help to make it a more complete meal.<\/p>\n<p>Spaghetti contains carbs and so if eaten in large quantities can be unhealthy. This is because it can cause high blood sugar, especially if you suffer from diabetes. Also, spaghetti contains gluten, which can cause issues if you suffer from gluten sensitivity. So, while it is safe to eat spaghetti, moderation is key.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"","protected":false},"author":9,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-7713","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-nutrition"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v25.3 (Yoast SEO v25.3) -
