A stack of pancakes dripping with butter and maple syrup, is certainly delicious but not necessarily the best choice if you have diabetes. All those carbs—from the pancakes and syrup—add up quickly and there isn't a lot of fiber to slow down the absorption into your bloodstream.

Just because the label says it's sugar free does not mean it's diabetes friendly or keto friendly! Most sugar-free syrups contain nasty ingredients like aspartame and acesulfame potassium. And even ones labeled “keto” can contain things like tapioca fiber, which might spike your blood sugar.

How many carbohydrates do you need? The Dietary Guidelines for Americans recommend that carbohydrates make up 45% to 65% of total daily calories. So if you get 2,000 calories a day, between 900 and 1,300 calories should be from carbohydrates. That translates to between 225 and 325 grams of carbs a day.

Avoid cookies, ice cream, donuts, pizza and fried foods. Eat the bagel, but skip the cream cheese. Eat the pasta, but skip any cheese or cream sauces. Pancakes and syrup are great, but skip the butter.

Healthy pancakes

What is the healthiest flour to use for pancakes? ›

To make healthy pancakes, use whole-wheat or another whole-grain (cornmeal, oats or buckwheat) flour instead. Whole-wheat flour has 16 grams of fiber per cup compared to 3 grams of fiber in white flour.
