Type 1 Diabetes: Zucchini Noodles with Pesto Chicken
Type 1 Diabetes Benefits: Low in Carbohydrates: Zucchini noodles provide a pasta-like texture without the glycemic spike of traditional pasta. Lean Protein: Grilled chicken supports stable blood sugar and helps with fullness and muscle repair. Healthy Fats: Pesto (made with olive oil, seeds/nuts, and herbs) helps slow glucose absorption. Anti-Inflammatory: Basil, olive oil, and garlic in pesto offer anti-inflammatory support—important for overall metabolic health. Non-Starchy Veggies: High in volume and fiber, keeping blood sugar levels more stable.
