Q Are potatoes good for diabetics? I have been told that because i am diabetic i should not eat potatoes of any kind. I thought potatoes had good nutrients for me.
Potatoes are starchy food rich in calories. However, they are also rich in other nutrients, hence you need not avoid them completely. More than a particular vegetable, the method of cooking makes it more harmful. If you have baked, steamed or roasted potato in moderation; no harm done. However, dunk it in oil and even an orange is harmful!
