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.
Hummus, the simple dip of chickpeas, olive oil, lemon juice and salt, has America under a spell. The New York Times reported that the hummus industry has grown from just a $5 million dollar business 15 years ago, to one that totaled $530 million at U.S. food retailers in 2012. If you're not really into hummus, we bet you know someone who is. Your best friend, your mom, your landlord -- they're all eating hummus.
