The Science
White beans are high in fiber (54% DV) and protein (47% DV), which can slow carbohydrate absorption and improve glycemic control, but they also provide 22% DV of carbohydrates per 100g, which may require portion management for diabetics. The high magnesium (45% DV) and potassium (38% DV) support insulin sensitivity and blood pressure regulation, but total carb intake must be balanced.
Recommendation
Include white beans in moderate portions (e.g., 1/2 cup cooked) as part of a balanced meal, and monitor blood glucose response to adjust serving size.
