Fast food wraps can be a convenient option for people with diabetes, but choosing the right types and controlling portions are essential for maintaining blood sugar levels. This article provides guidance on selecting suitable wraps and managing portion sizes for better blood sugar control.
Choosing the Right Wraps
Opt for wraps made from whole grains or high-fiber ingredients. These options help slow down carbohydrate absorption, reducing blood sugar spikes. Avoid wraps with added sugars or highly processed ingredients.
Healthy Fillings
Select fillings rich in protein and healthy fats, such as grilled chicken, turkey, or vegetables with hummus. Incorporate low-fat cheese or avocado for added flavor and nutrients. Limit high-sugar sauces and opt for mustard or vinegar-based dressings.
Portion Control Tips
Pay attention to the size of the wrap and filling quantities. Using smaller wraps or cutting larger wraps in half can help control carbohydrate intake. Pair wraps with a side of vegetables or a small salad to create a balanced meal.
