Is Pizza REALLY Bad for Diabetes?

1 Slice Of Standard Pizza Is Acceptable For Diabetics

Having a slice of pizza is acceptable for diabetes patients, but no more than 1 serving which is 1 slice of 6 ounce pizza. You have to be cautious of the toppings. It is best to go with a flavor with at least 2 varieties of fresh vegetables on it. Avoid deli cuts as they are high in fat and sodium. In fact, vegetarian pizza piled with fresh vegetables is most ideal for diabetes patients.

Homemade Pizza Is Best For Diabetics

Try a homemade pizza as and when you crave for one. This way you can customize it into a diabetes-friendly pizza. For instance, whole grain flour or other low carb flour alternatives instead of white flour for the crust. Make your crust as thin as possible. Concoct your own tomato sauce without added sugar and top your pizza with wholesome vegetables, mushrooms and grilled chicken slices.
