Why is keto diet good for diabetes but here, the diet plan excludes oil but keto includes oil. Which diet can a diabetic follow: the one here or keto?
Hi Nas ,
Depends on your goals .. keto is basically a short term diet , it should not be followed for more than 3-4 weeks .. where in this above mentioned diet is a balanced low calorie diet plan , and can be followed for as long as your goal is achieved … Keto is something every one follows in order to achieve faster results .. but there are many if ‘s and But’s to it .. but a balanced diet goes a long way in terms of health and fitness.

Hi Mam,
I am 29 yrs old married a year ago. I am diabetic. sticking to a diet plan is very difficult on a daily basis. It becomes much more difficult when I have to cook separately for me and my husband. We both are working. Mid morning or evening snack for me is mostly not possible. I am taking glyciphage 500 morning and evening. Also if i follow very strict diet i feel tired and less energetic. Doctor has asked not to eat rice, but if i eat rice only then i feel like i had something. Though my sugar level is in normal range my weight loss is still a issue. As per doctors’ recommendation my weight should be within 40-45 however my current weight is 59kg. Because of weight I may not be able to conceive also according to doctor. I take dandelion green tea everyday. I feel so confused and stressed thinking about all this my normal life has been affected very much. And also when i research in internet there are contradictory explanation about diabetic diet foods, some says coconut can be added some says it cant be some says ghee can be taken some says no… some says rice can be taken some says no….there is so much like this. Completely confused and don’t know what to do… Please help
Hi Vanitha ,
Yes Internet is full of information , some correct and some wrong … I would suggest that you take a proper consultation from a diet expert. See There is nothing at all in the world that you cant eat .. Its just that it has to be fit in you carb allowance .. so when you have a perfectly planned meal , you can have coconut , and rice as well as ghee … if you want us to plan a proper diet for you , please see this page – https://www.dietburrp.com/diet-services/

My husband is a diabetic and his fasting sugar has suddenly risen to 150-159 since a few months. He is on diabetic medicines .
Can he have soups for dinner along with roti and vegetables?
His PP and bedtime sugar is fine.
Hi Priya ,
yes he can have soups . there are few things you need to take care of . 1] serve him early dinners . may be by 7 – 7.30 . and ask him to walk for 30 mins after his dinner. do not intake fruits after 6 pm . for the next week . and in his dinner give him complex carb like daliya , oats , brown rice , whole wheat flour roti along with plenty of green leafy vegetables.
all these things will help him in getting the fasting sugar down very soon .

1.Can a diabetes patient joint a gym and do some exercise under the monitor of a trainer or go for yoga?
Hi Rinaxmi ,
yes ofcourse a diabeti can do all this under proper monitoration . and while going to the gym it is important that the person carries a sweet candy and lots of water with them . this will help in case if the sugar levels go below normal . the trainer too should be beforehand informed about the diabetic status of the patient. a mini meal before gym is important.

If you do not have digestion issues , you cn use any dal . if you have digestion issues , use mung dal , it is easy on digestion . vaise on a regular basis a mix of channa dal : mung dal :tur dal in a ratio of 1:2:3 in the same order is good to use.
