Why It's Diabetic-Friendly
Light brothy soup format slows eating and absorption. Chipotle's smoked capsaicin improves insulin sensitivity. Avocado garnish adds healthy fats that flatten any glucose response from the corn tortilla strips. About 22 g carbs per serving with 28 g protein - excellent macros for T2D dinner.
