17. Popcorn Is Good, But What About Flavored Popcorn?

Popcorn is an adorable little snack to appease your afternoon cravings. Luckily, it’s a diabetic-friendly snack owing to its low glycemic index, so it’s safe to eat it. However, it’s another one of those harmless snacks that are “contaminated” by artificial flavors and pre-packaging. 

Foodies would love flavored popcorn such as sweetened, salted, caramelized, or chocolate popcorn. But leave them to their preferences; you, as a diabetic, should totally avoid pre-packaged and flavored popcorn. Use simple, unflavored popcorn and mix it up with nuts or any other diabetic-friendly snack to add a bit of spice.
