Simple answer is yes.

There are many post on this subject, you can do a search, right top page search.

The best method is to boils the sweet potato, many verities in different part of the world.

Wait for it to cool, peal the first thin layer of the skin, keep it in the fridge, you can eat it cool.

If you fry then you are adding oil.!! you can make a mash, again good.

Give it a try.

"When eaten in moderation, all kinds of sweet potatoes are healthy. They're very high in antioxidants, vitamins, and minerals and can safely be included in a diabetes-friendly diet."(1)

"A typical serving size is ½ cup, according to the U.S. Department of Agriculture. Kaufman recommends half of a medium-size sweet potato for most people with diabetes because this is the equivalent of 15 grams of carbohydrates."(2)

"Sweet potatoes have an abundance of nutrients and help stabilize blood sugar levels. Those who have diabetes can incorporate sweet potatoes into their meal plans without hesitation. Sweet potatoes have a low glycemic index."(3)
