Consuming protein and fibre throughout the day, while limiting sugar and refined carbs, can help to stabilize blood sugar levels, which is the primary aim for those who have diabetes (1).
PROTEIN
Our smarter proteins contain 0-1 g of net carbs (total carbs minus fibre), 0 sugar and can be added to shakes, smoothies, oats, and more as a source of protein quality throughout the day.
FIBRE
Fibre helps to lower the glycemic index of foods (2). Fibre-rich products include our:
Insect powders
5 Plant Protein Powder
SmarterGreens and Smarter Berries
LOW IN SUGAR
For a list of products that are low in sugar, check out our "keto" section.
GINGEROL
Each serving of our Turmeric Ginger Latte Mix contains 250 mg of ginger root, which has been shown to have anti-diabetic properties, thanks to the bioactive compound gingerol (3). A 2015 study found that 2 grams of ginger powder a day meaningfully lowered blood sugar compared to baseline over a short and long-term period (4).
