Are Keto Recipes Good For Diabetics?

The Ketogenic diet and a diet to manage your diabetes have something in common. They are trying to reduce the intake of carbohydrates.

Their goals, however, are slightly different.

If you just started the keto diet, you know that your goal is to be in ketosis.

Ketosis is a metabolic state where your body turns your stored fat into ketones and uses them as energy sources.

Since you have reduced your blood glucose, the muscles, brain, and other tissues in your body use these ketones,

With diabetes, the goal is different. Your body doesn’t produce enough insulin.

Insulin is responsible for helping to store blood glucose for later use. As a result, people with diabetes tend to have very high blood glucose levels.

So the goal of managing diabetes is to keep that blood sugar level low. This is done through the consumption of low Glycemic Index (GI) / low GL (Glycemic Load) foods.

There has been some research to try to understand if the Keto diet can be useful for people with diabetes.

• For Type 1 diabetes, the Keto diet might help manage A1C levels and glycemic control. But it is absolutely essential to talk to your doctor before starting.
• For Type 2 diabetes, it is now well-known that the Keto diet can have very positive effects.

What Are Sugar-Free Desserts For Diabetics?

Diabetic dessert recipes are low-carb, sugar-free desserts.

Obviously, desserts for diabetics don’t impact the blood sugar level as much as regular desserts as they contain no sugar. Are keto recipes good for diabetics?

How To Make Desserts For People With Diabetes

3 main ingredients help you create delicious diabetic-friendly desserts.

Low-carb flour

First, low-carb flour if it’s a cake or a cookie. As a result, low-carb, diabetic dessert recipes often use almond flour, coconut flour, or seed meals like flaxseed meals.

In fact, white-wheat flour is high in carbs and acts like sugar in your body.

As a result, low-carb, diabetic dessert recipes are made of high-fiber flours that don’t impact blood sugar levels.

Baking for diabetics means using low-carb flour but also healthy, low-GI sweeteners.

Low-carb sweeteners

Next, the choice of sugar-free sweeteners is crucial to keep diabetic-friendly desserts low in carbs.

It should be noted that depending on your diabetes type, your choice of sweetener can vary.

The sweeteners listed below are approved for type 1 diabetes and keto desserts.

• Sugar-alcohols like erythritol. This is a very healthy sugar-free alternative made of fermented sugar. There is no alcohol or sugar left in the product at the end. However, it can be used in a 1:1 ratio to replace sugar in the recipe.
• Monk fruit crystal
• Monk fruit maple-flavored syrup
• Stevia drops
• Xylitol

Indeed these 4 sugar-free sweeteners don’t impact blood sugar and have a near-zero glycemic index.

On the other hand, sweeteners like honey, maple syrup, and coconut sugar have higher sugar content.

They should not be recommended in diabetes desserts.

Healthy fat

Finally, healthy fats help stabilize sugar-level when combined with protein. It can be listed as healthy fat, avocado, coconut oil, olive oil, and seed oil.
