A Simple Indian Diet Plan to Keep Blood Sugar in Control

Diabetes management does not mean saying goodbye to your favourite dal-chawal or roti-sabzi. With small, smart swaps, most Indian meals can be made sugar-friendly. Here is a simple guide our doctors give patients in Sonipat.

What to include more of

• Whole wheat or multigrain roti instead of maida items
• Plenty of vegetables and salad with every meal
• Dals and sprouts for protein and fibre
• Curd or buttermilk instead of sugary drinks

What to cut down on

• Sugar in tea, sweets and packaged juices
• White rice and refined flour in large portions
• Deep-fried snacks like samosa and pakora
• Late-night heavy meals

Simple daily habits

• Eat smaller meals more frequently instead of two large ones
• Walk for 15-20 minutes after meals
• Keep meal timings consistent every day

Eating well is one of the simplest ways to protect your health for years to come.
