Eating right is an essential step in combatting diabetes and warding off the associated complications. Low-carb, high-fiber diet plans have been repeatedly prescribed by physicians treating patients with diabetes. Further, fried and sugary food items are a strict no-no.
Sujata Sharma, a Diabetes Educator, has recommended an effective meal plan for Indian diabetic patients, which may be hassle-free to organize in the Indian kitchen and may seem appealing to our most sensitive tastebuds.
Firstly, we must take food thrice or four times a day. Sujata Sharma suggests the following diet plan as breakfast, lunch, snack, and dinner:
Breakfast |
