Diabetes has emerged to be one of the most prevalent health conditions of recent times. In another ten years, India may have up to 98 million diabetics, as per a study (published in the Lancet) and yet the lack of awareness around Diabetes is staggering. It has been emphasised often enough that diabetics need to be extra careful about their diet. Anything you include on your plate can have consequences, hence you need to learn to make wise choices. Diabetics are often advised to refrain from refined food including cereals, flours and grain. Sugary goods like pastries, doughnuts etc made with refined sugar are also not recommended. Loading up on seasonal, local fibre-rich foods may do wonders for your diabetes diet. Fibre takes time to digest, because of which they do not release copious amounts of sugar upon metabolizing. The release is gradual, and hence your blood sugar levels are always in control. As per experts, non-starchy greens and a variety of pulses and legumes are ideal to prevent surge in blood sugar levels. Chickpeas have low glycemic index, and hence make for a good addition to a diabetes diet.
