These sloppy joe sandwiches with a diabetic-friendly twist are superb. Featuring a blend of lean ground beef, vegetables, and a sugar-conscious, tangy tomato sauce.
I love making Sloppy Joes. I’ve published a recipe for Salsa Sloppy Joes, Old Fashioned Sloppy Joe Sliders, and even Turkey Sloppy Joe Sandwiches.
But this time I get to share my recipe for Diabetic Sloppy Joe Sandwiches.

Managing your Diabetes from day to day varies from person to person based on several factors: type of diabetes, age, weight, etc.
As a general rule, your best choice will be foods lower in carbs, saturated fat, trans fat, added sugar and sodium. We recommend consulting with a Registered Dietitian about your specific situation.
I like to use buns or hoagie rolls for my sloppy joe sandwiches. But that is a personal preference. You can use whatever kind of bread you want.
I like to slightly toast the inside of the cut buns so that the bread doesn’t get too soggy. Again, my preference but you do you!
The first time I made this recipe my wife asked what we were going to do with the leftovers since there were only two of us. She didn’t want to have bread 2 nights in a row so she used the meat mixture to make herself some “chili fries”.
