Diabetes patients need to pay close attention to what they eat. Their recommended daily intake of carbohydrates is 45–60 grams for meals and 15–20 grams for snacks. Depending on your amount of exercise and medicines, the number may change. Since they elevate blood sugar levels, carbohydrates may be a perplexing dietary group for those with diabetes.
In her recent Instagram post, nutritionist Karishma Shah said, "Managing diabetes through diet can be a bit of a puzzle, but I'm here to help you piece it together. I've got some fantastic carb choices that can be a game-changer for individuals managing diabetes."
Quinoa: It is a versatile grain that's a complete protein. It is a powerhouse of many important nutrients like fibre, folate, iron, magnesium, antioxidants, phosphorous, and zinc.
Sweet potato: They are tasty and naturally sweet. They are also a great source of fibre and vitamins. Blood pressure is controlled, weight loss is aided, and digestion is aided by sweet potatoes. They are an excellent method to eat healthy carbs without being concerned about those surges.
Whole grain pasta: Diabetes should not stop you from enjoying pasta once in a while. If you crave pasta, you can go for the whole-grain version. This can also keep your blood sugar levels in check, considering it's comparatively lower on the glycemic index.
Berries: They are nature's candy, full of antioxidants and fibre. Whether you toss them into yogurt or eat them alone, they are a delightful treat that won't send your blood sugar on a rollercoaster ride.
