Are potatoes okay to eat with diabetes?

Potatoes are not off limits, but portion and preparation matter. A smaller portion of a boiled or baked potato, eaten alongside vegetables and protein, fits a diabetes-friendly plate better than a large serving of fries or a potato eaten on its own. Pairing starchy foods with fiber and protein tends to soften the impact on blood sugar. This is general information, not medical advice, so check what works for you with your doctor.
