Not your grandma's sugar substitute
Blood sugar-friendly foods are those that do not spike your blood glucose. If you see things advertised this way in the grocery store, it usually means that the sugar in the product has been replaced with a sugar substitute, like aspartame or sucralose. They are either poorly absorbed in the gut, and thus make you gassy, or are many times sweeter than sugar, and thus need a trivial amount to taste sweet. Many people find the taste to be metallic, but credit where credit is due. Sugar substitutes can satisfy the craving for sweet things and do not spike your blood sugar like, well, sugar.
*However, there is a very special kind of sugar substitute called allulose. It has a very similar mouthfeel to sugar (albeit about 75% as sweet), and can replace sugar for most culinary needs. The most amazing part about allulose is that it draws sugar out of the blood, causing your blood glucose not just to remain flat, but to drop. Interestingly. It does this by a very similar mechanism to a newer diabetes drug called Entresto (empaglaflozin, a class of drugs called an SGLT-2 inhibitor).
Tl;dr, you win twice with allulose: you satiate your sweet tooth and lower your blood sugar.
