Controlling glucose is a daily challenge for those who live with diabetes and want to eat well, varying foods, responsibly and without losing the pleasure of eating. An interesting and delicious option is the pineapple and cashew cake, recommended by the Brazilian Diabetes Society (SBD), which can be prepared in a healthy way.

This diabetic-friendly recipe combines the sweet flavor of pineapple, which is rich in fiber, vitamins, and minerals, with the crunchy texture and nutritional benefits of cashews. The fiber in pineapple helps control blood sugar levels and promotes satiety, while the nuts provide healthy fats, protein, and lasting energy.

Choosing whole grain flours, such as whole wheat or oat flour, is essential, as they have a lower glycemic index and release glucose more slowly into the blood.

Although it is a healthier option, cake should be consumed in moderation. You need to count the carbs in the recipe to adjust your insulin dose. Avoid ingredients like condensed milk, cream, and butter, which are high in sugar and saturated fat. Following diabetic-specific recipes ensures you are using appropriate and healthy ingredients.
