Diabetic Cookies

Reduce sugar: Use alternative sweeteners like stevia, erythritol, or sugar (moderately). These sweeteners have minimal to no impact on blood sugar. Substitute flour: Replace traditional flour with low-glycemic options like almond flour, oat flour, or coconut flour. These flours have less of an impact on blood sugar compared to white flour. Control portion sizes: Bake smaller cookies or divide larger ones into smaller servings to manage your carbohydrate intake. Focus on healthy fats: Include good fats like nuts, seeds, or avocado oil in your recipes for satiety and a slower blood sugar response. Ready-made options: Look for commercially available diabetic-friendly cookies. While not all options are created equal, some brands offer pre-portioned cookies with controlled carbohydrate content and alternative sweeteners.

Choose sugar-free cookies marketed to diabetics with caution. Check ingredient lists for artificial sweeteners and sugar as some still affect blood sugar, albeit to a lesser extent.
