15. Shirataki noodles

With no calories, no digestible carbs, and no fat, shirataki noodles may be a dream come true for people with diabetes. This food is made from the root of the konjac plant. Most of its fiber, which comprises about 3% of the product, is glucomannan, a viscous, soluble form. Glucomannan moves through the gastrointestinal tract slowly, delaying nutrient absorption and curbing blood sugar spikes. It also promotes satiety and could lead to a reduction in caloric intake.
