Since cooked quinoa has a low GI, it does not cause sudden spikes in blood sugar levels. However, if the quinoa is not balanced with protein and fibre, then it can cause elevated blood sugar levels.<\/p>\n<p>Ways to say goodbye to glucose spikes with quinoa<br \/>\n\u2022 Try adding veggies to cooked quinoa. You can also add a source of fat such as nuts, seeds or avocado can help to make it a complete meal.<br \/>\n\u2022 You can follow the food flow of eating fibre first, then protein and finally carbs. This can reduce blood sugar spikes caused because of the meal by around 75%.<br \/>\n\u2022 Including more fibre and protein-rich foods and less cooked quinoa, can help to maintain blood glucose levels.<\/p>\n<p>Cooked quinoa has a low carb content and it is high in protein and fibre. Quinoa can help to normalise glucose metabolism in the body, especially in elders whose glucose tolerance is impaired. All these factors make quinoa an excellent option for people suffering from diabetes.<\/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-7843","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) -
