Question from Staten Island, New York, USA:

My 43 year old brother was recently diagnosed with diabetes, and his favorite food is pizza. Do you know which commercial fast food pizzerias might be healthier for someone with diabetes?

Answer:

From: DTeam Staff

Since the crust is usually the main carb component of a slice of pizza, strive to go with thinner crust pizza (and supplement with some low or no carb vegetables, salads, etc.). A dietitian can assist your brother in nutritional information for local pizzerias in your area.
