Indian Keto diet plan for Diabetes (Control Blood sugar and lose weight)

Last Updated on June 16, 2019 | RD, Payal Banka (Registered Dietitian) 11 Comments

Diabetes is a very rampant metabolic disorder which is on the rise. The terror of this big “D” has gripped the population. More and more people are falling prey to this lifestyle-related problem. Hence, Many have now started thinking for Indian Keto diet plan for Diabetes to control blood sugar and lose weight. Do you think it will help? Let us find out.

Indian Keto diet plan for Diabetes

Diabetes manifests when the pancreas produces negligible or no insulin or when the body fails to respond appropriately to insulin. Diabetes is not an illness. Hence, there is no cure for it. People with diabetes need to manage their blood sugar levels to stay healthy.


Keto Diet in Diabetes

Doctors generally prescribe various drugs to treat diabetes. People who produce very less insulin or no insulin need to take insulin shots to manage their blood sugars; While, Type 2 diabetics have to work out better in order to increase their insulin response. Diabetes can be prevented with better food choices, increased activity, as well as with weight loss.

We have all tried various diets and tricks to control blood sugars. Have you ever thought about trying a keto diet to control blood sugars?

A keto diet is a high-fat as well as a very low carbohydrate diet. The diet recommends that people eat 20 grams of carbohydrates or below per day. Thus, the goal is to eat 3 to 4 g of fat for every 1 g of carbohydrate and protein.

Let us see if the keto diet will help in controlling blood sugar levels? Or does the keto diet have any side effect on diabetes?

Effect of Keto diet on Blood Sugar Level

Keto diet restricts carbohydrates, thus, there is very less sugar available for the body to use. This leads to burning of fat for fuel as an energy source.

A keto diet helps in type 2 diabetes as it allows the body to maintain low but healthy glucose levels. The suppressed amount of carbohydrates prevents large spikes in blood sugar, in turn, reducing the need for insulin.

Studies show that keto diets have been helpful in the reduction of 3 months average of sugar known as HbA1c.

Effect on diabetes medication while on Keto Diet

Keto prevents a sudden surge in blood glucose levels. This may help to eventually reduce the dose of medication.

However, those who follow the keto diet and are on insulin regime may be at a higher risk of developing hypoglycemia. Hypoglycemia may cause dizziness, tiredness, sweating, hunger, irritability, headache, etc. In severe cases, a person with hypoglycemia episode can slip into a coma. Hence, If you are a diabetic on insulin and wish to follow a keto diet, It is extremely important to constantly monitor your blood sugar on a daily basis.

Keto Diet plan and its effect on weight loss in Diabetics

The keto diet pushes the body to use fats as a source of fuel. This helps burn fat cells, which is the ultimate goal for weight loss and insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes. This might be useful for pre-diabetics to prevent or delay the onset of diabetes mellitus.

To Understand in depth about the original Keto diet plan, you can check this video on Indian Keto Diet plan for Beginners.

  • Mental fatigue – Brain depends on glucose for energy. Carbohydrates are the fastest to provide glucose to the brain.
  • Frequent urination during the diet course to remove toxic ketone bodies from the body.
  • Headaches in case of constant low sugar levels.

    Hello dr.
    I am following your diet. And in a couple of months I’ve seen great results. But i have a question regarding the long term issues with keto diet.
    It is safe to say, that in the long term it is impossible to sustain this diet as week 3 and 4 makes you effectively skip breakfast.
    What do we do after we have achieved the desired weight we are after.
    Could you suggest how we should ease into a normal diet

      Hi ,

      1] its not good to follow it for more than 2 months in continuation. So whether or not you reach your goal , get off keto after 60 days.

      Hi Anjani,

      All the needed details and the precautions are mentioned in this article. and to add, I have had many diabetic clients who followed keto diet plan under me by taking our personalized services, and the results were mind-blowing both in terms of weight loss and blood sugar control. Earlier , i used to discourage them and ask them to follow a balanced diet , but after seeing 3-4 cases , i encourage them if they are willing to follow keto

    This article is really very informative and beneficial for the people to shed extra kilos. Other than this, cold-pressed juice can also be consumed on a daily basis to control blood sugar level hence lose weight.
