Healthy Living: Are Mushrooms Good for People with Diabetes?

January 8,2020
Share:

Given that diabetes is characterized by high blood sugar levels, following a healthy diet that helps manage blood sugar is essential to treatment (1Trusted Source).

Mushroom soup

However, that can be easier said than done, and people with diabetes may find it difficult to decide which foods to eat and avoid.

Mushrooms are low in carbs and sugar and considered to have anti-diabetic properties.

This article explains why mushrooms are an excellent choice if you have diabetes

There are many types of mushrooms, including the traditional button or white mushroom, shiitake, portobello, and oyster mushrooms to name a few.

Despite their varying appearance and taste, they all have similar nutritional profiles, which are characterized by low sugar and fat contents.

Mushroom

One cup (70 grams) of raw mushrooms provides the following:

Calories: 15
Carbs: 2 grams
Sugar: 1 gram
Protein: 2 grams
Fat: 0 grams
Vitamin B2, or riboflavin: 22% of the Daily Value (DV)
Vitamin B3, or niacin: 16% of the DV
Selenium: 12% of the DV
Phosphorus: 5% of the DV
Mushrooms are rich in selenium and certain B vitamins. B vitamins are a group of eight water-soluble vitamins that’s strongly linked to improved brain function.

Meanwhile, selenium is a potent antioxidant that plays a key role in thyroid function.

Mushrooms are a low calorie, low carb food that can be enjoyed on a diabetes-friendly diet. They also provide high amounts of selenium and certain B vitamins

Mushrooms are considered a low GI and low GL food, meaning that they won’t spike your blood sugar levels.

Mushrooms may benefit certain types of diabetes.

The B vitamins and polysaccharides in mushrooms may aid the management and prevention of diabetes and its complications. However, more human research is needed to confirm this.
