Keto-Friendly Foods for Diabetics: 100 foods — 100 rated diabetes-friendly. The average glycemic load per 100g is 0. Use this page to find options that fit your blood sugar goals. Click any food for its full GL breakdown, portion size comparison, and nutrition facts.
Start with the 100 foods rated Low GL — they have a glycemic load of ≤10 per 100g, meaning minimal blood sugar impact. Of the 100 foods listed here, 100 meet that standard. Within those, choose the ones with more fiber and less saturated fat for the best overall metabolic profile.
How can I pair these foods to reduce blood sugar impact?
Portion control is one of the most effective blood sugar management tools. Each food page includes a portion comparison table showing GL for half, standard, and restaurant servings. You will often find that a half-serving brings the GL from high/moderate down to a much more manageable range.
Are there even better options outside this list?
Yes — and you can find them by clicking any food and checking the Better Alternatives section on its page. That section shows 4 other foods in the same category with lower glycemic loads. It is one click away from every food on this list.
What if I eat these at a restaurant?
Combining multiple foods from this list compounds the glycemic load. The total meal GL is roughly the sum of each food's GL. If you eat two foods rated Moderate (GL ~15 each), your total meal GL is ~30 — in the high range. Balance your plate: one carb choice, generous vegetables, and a protein source.
