Beef Jerky is a high protein,low carbohydrate,low sugar product.Jerky in all forms is a dehydrated, often seasoned meat, suitable for long storage and ideal for on-the-go consumption. Its high protein profile and low glycemic impact make it a great choice for diabetics, in particular, keeping you from getting hungry without sending your blood sugar through the roof. In addition, if you are trying to get healthy by implementing exercise into your diabetes management routine, beef jerky is a simple, delicious way to up your protein intake.

Even though it’s very good in theory, however, many companies particularly mainstream jerky makers load their products up with glazes or cure them with sugar. Though it might not seem like a large amount of sugar in some cases, it’s enough to cause a reaction in someone who is diabetic. In addition, taking a perfect snack and adding sugar detracts from the actual benefits.

Eating only beef jerky is not good for health.This beef jerky contain lots of sodium.Moderate intake is good.Otherwise the patient got hypertension also from this.In addition to this meat contain high cholesterol and processed food increases the insulin resistance,so there is a chance for diabetes being uncontrolled and also lead to complications.
