Best potato for diabetes 🥔
Short answer: sweet potato—especially white (Caiapo) and purple—has the strongest evidence for supporting blood sugar in type 2 diabetes.
Why sweet potato wins:
• Slower carb breakdown. Polyphenols and anthocyanins can inhibit starch-digesting enzymes, so glucose enters your bloodstream more gradually.
• Better insulin sensitivity. Compounds in sweet potato help cells respond to insulin, improving “signal → sugar uptake” efficiency.
• GLP-1 + liver support. Bioactives may enhance GLP-1 and help regulate the liver’s glucose release, steadier fasting numbers.
• Human data. The Caiapo (white) variety has lowered A1c and fasting glucose in clinical studies.
If sweet potatoes spike you right now:
It’s not the food’s fault—it’s insulin resistance at the cellular level. Defeat it with a high-fiber, low saturated-fat eating pattern.
