Dietitian's Tips for Consuming Diabetic Sweetened Cherry Jam

  • Metabolic Effect: Diabetic sweetened cherry jam raises blood sugar more slowly because it contains sweeteners instead of sugar. However, it is important to pay attention to the amount of carbohydrates it contains.
  • Consumption Recommendation: Instead of consuming diabetic jam alone, consuming it with fibrous foods such as whole wheat bread or oatmeal can help balance blood sugar. Also, adding a protein source (e.g., cheese) increases the feeling of fullness.
  • Things to Consider: Diabetic jam contains calories even though it does not contain sugar, and excessive consumption can lead to weight gain. A teaspoon (5g) contains approximately 12 calories, so portion control is important.
  • Exercise Equivalent: To burn the calories you get from a teaspoon of diabetic jam, walking at a light pace for about 3 minutes is enough. This can help you maintain calorie balance with small activities during the day.
