Get even with diabetes

Carbohydrate is one of the three major sources of calories in a diet. Sugar and starch form the main sources of carbohydrates. Carbohydrates are broken up into glucose during digestion and are the main nutrients that raise the blood glucose levels. All cereals like rice, wheat, ragi and jowar contain about 70 percent of starch. So it is not the type of cereal but the quantity of cereal consumed that really matters.To make up for the low carbohydrate intake, you could have substitutes like buttermilk, tomato juice, lime juice, soups and salads, which can be taken in unlimited amounts. Vegetables and greens can be included in the diet but avoid roots like potatoes, arbhi, etc.

The following are to be out of your list, even if your blood sugar is under control!

Sugar, honey, glucose, jaggery and sweets.

Nuts like cashews, badam and pista.

Tender coconut kernel and tender coconut water.

Soft drinks, alcoholic beverages, health drinks that contain sugar.

Fruits like mangoes, jack fruit and sapota (chikoo).

Dry fruits like dates and grapes.
