3. Pumpkin: The Sweet and Healthy Ally
Pumpkin is a delicious vegetable that not only adds flavor to your meals, but also offers significant benefits for blood sugar control. Rich in fiber and with a moderate glycemic index, pumpkin helps stabilize glucose levels after meals.
This vegetable is particularly rich in beta-carotene, a powerful antioxidant that has been shown to improve insulin function and reduce the risk of diabetic complications.

In addition, pumpkin contains complex carbohydrates, which break down slowly in the body, providing a constant flow of energy and avoiding glycemic spikes.
Pumpkin can be roasted, steamed, or used in soups and purees. Its natural sweetness makes it a great choice for healthy desserts, such as low-sugar pies and cakes. Try incorporating it into different dishes and enjoy its benefits while savoring your meals.
