Cheese can help a diabetic diet. In The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition, a study found that cheese can lower peoples’ chances of type 2 diabetes. But not all cheeses are created equal. Some have much higher sodium than others. For instance, mozzarella has four milligrams of salt per ounce, while feta has 316 milligrams per ounce.
Some cheeses also have more nutrients than others. Parmesan and Monterey Jack are high in protein, while Provolone offers more calcium than others. Search for low-sodium varieties whenever possible, and always check the label.
