How many grams of sugar can a Type 2 diabetic have a day? A: There are no particular regulations on sugar consumption for diabetics, but someone with Type 2 diabetes should not have more than 30-60 grams of carbohydrate per meal, and 15-30 grams per snack, according to registered dietician Amy Campbell. Carbohydrates, and not sugar, cause blood glucose levels to rise and can be harmful to diabetics.
Hummus is packed with protein and healthy fats like olive oil. I prefer to soak my beans for better health and digestion. To further bump up the nutrition, hummus can be lacto-fermented like Wardeeâs traditional recipe. The peppers in this roasted red pepper hummus make it slightly sweet while the lacto-fermentation adds a bit of tanginess. To lacto-ferment, add whey* to the hummus and leave it to ferment on the counter overnight.

These ingredients each contain health-promoting nutrients and when combined, form a dish packed with many health benefits.
