Pasta made with durum wheat is special. It’s a low glycemic food that can help you manage your blood sugar, regulate your appetite, and support diabetes management.

Eating low glycemic foods can do a lot for you. They can help control your blood sugar levels by preventing sugar spikes after you eat.

Dr. Megan Racey shares how foods can impact our health and explains how pasta can help.

Pasta is a carbohydrate-rich food and is also a unique example of a refined wheat food with a low glycemic index.

The reason pasta ranks on the low glycemic foods scale is the presence of gluten. A naturally occurring plant protein found in wheat, gluten slows down the digestion and absorption of carbohydrate sugars into your blood. This means pasta won’t spike your blood sugar as much as other refined grain foods and will leave you feeling fuller for longer.
