Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I read your query and understand your concern. If you have already been diagnosed with diabetes, it is mandatory to keep it under control at all times with the help of diet. Exercise and maintain an active lifestyle and medications prescribed by the treating doctor. Walking, yoga, and exercise as health permits started gradually will help. Check your blood sugar levels and other parameters like liver function test, kidney function test, and lipid profile regularly. Watch what you eat. Small frequented meals might help. Stay away from sweets, sugar, honey, jaggery, marmalade, coconut water, juices, biscuits, rusk, and junk packaged food. Avoid potatoes, white rice, green peas, beetroot, and carrot. Take the dietician's opinion for a detailed diet chart depending on height weight religion culture body mass index likes and dislikes. Avoid stress and tension. Deep breathing and meditation will help. Go for green leafy vegetables, salad, and fruits take only papaya, guava, and kiwi. Replace white rice with brown rice and bread and flour with multi-grains. Avoid fried oily junk alcohol smoking. Take foods with low glycemic index. I hope I cleared all your doubts.
