Diabetics need to be very cautious about foods they eat, especially snacks. And this is the reason, why most people suffering from diabetes end up omitting fast foods as it's loaded with fats and carbohydrates. However, Amarjeet Singh Bhatia, Chief Medical Officer at Doctor Insta, a telehealth app, lists some fast food picks for people with diabetes that won't cause a surge in their blood glucose level.
Pizza: Pizza is one of the best choices for people who have diabetes but make sure that you order a wholegrain base and top it with fresh vegetables rather than extra cheese and high-fat toppings.
Burgers: Instead of burgers with double or triple patties, go for single burgers. Also, one needs to keep in mind that you opt for chicken or veggie burger and stay away from red meat.
Muffins: If you want to start your day with a morning pastry, you can surely go for muffins, but keep in mind that those muffins must be low fat. Low-fat muffins are easily available in the market and also help in keeping your blood glucose in control.
Pancakes: Pancakes aren't off-limits if you can use sugar-free syrup and go easy on butter. You can opt for whole-grain cereals as they can help stabilise blood sugar levels and are more nutritious as well.
Chicken sandwich: A diabetic can enjoy a grilled or broiled chicken sandwich with vegetables or a side salad to load up your nutrient intake.
