Type-2 Diabetic Friendly Explanation
This tangy lemon tart is an excellent dessert option for Type-2 Diabetic people due to its low glycemic index and sugar-free ingredients. The almond flour in the crust provides a source of healthy fats and fiber that help stabilize blood sugar levels. The recipe uses Truvia, a natural calorie-free sweetener derived from the stevia plant, and lemon juice, a fruit low in sugar but high in fiber and antioxidants. This combination of ingredients makes it a perfect alternative to traditional sugar-laden sweets.
