As a strategy for eating well with diabetes, poaching, broiling and boiling is good less intake of fat much better. Like saturated fat such as butter instead I usually use margarine, olive oil or canola oil. Or just boiled it like what you see picture above. I don’t have to be a world class chef in order to enjoy the modifications of meals I love. It should be diabetes-friendly and that matters most.
