Eggs are healthy for diabetics. The high protein content of eggs helps slow digestion, keeps people feeling full, and does not affect blood sugar levels. Eggs also contain essential nutrients, such as potassium, vitamin D, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, riboflavin, phosphorus, zinc, iron, copper, and the amino acid leucine. Egg whites contain more than half of an egg's protein, little fat, and no cholesterol. For this reason, people can eat as much of them as they want. Whole eggs or egg yolks, on the other hand, should not be consumed more than a few times per week as the cholesterol content is relatively high. This increases the risk of heart disease, especially for diabetics.
