Vegetables are essential for a healthy diet, providing vital nutrients and fiber. However, some vegetables can affect blood sugar levels in individuals with diabetes. The top 7 vegetables to moderate are beetroot, carrots, sweet potatoes, parsnips, white beans, butternut squash, and white rice. Beetroot and carrots have relatively high sugar content, while sweet potatoes and parsnips are high in carbohydrates. White beans have high starch content, and butternut squash is starchy but can be included in moderation. White rice, although not a vegetable, has a significant impact on blood sugar levels due to its high glycemic index. White potatoes are the worst vegetable for diabetics due to their high sugar and carbohydrate content. However, the cooking method can influence their health implications. Frying should be avoided, while baking, steaming, or microwaving is preferable.
