Diabetic-Friendly Chinese Recipes

Chinese food has all kinds of options when it comes to dishes that won’t spike your blood sugar. Rather than use artificial sweeteners in sweeter dishes, I recommend reducing the amount of sweetener or just going with a dish with a less sweet flavor profile. The recipes below should get you moving in the right direction.
