” Diabetes ” a word that may bring chills down your spine when detected for yourself or for a loved one. The first thing that comes to your mind after being diagnosed as a diabetic is, ” What do I eat ? ” ” What is a carbohydrate?” and ” what is low glycemic index food ? “. Well, we would make the answer simple for you in this Type 2 Diabetic diet plan for Indians (1500 calories).
I am sure that by now you already know the basics of what happens in diabetes, and what is insulin. Probably you must have heard from a lot of people that you need to drink a glass of Bitter-gourd juice (karela) juice every morning and avoid sugar to the fullest. In a way, most people think that after being diagnosed with diabetes, they lose their freedom to eat tasty food. But this is not true, you can still enjoy the liberty of eating what you wish to eat. All you need is to maintain a balance over the food you eat and the exercises you do.
When it comes to diabetes, we always hear about low glycemic index foods. Let us first learn more about glycemic index to understand the concept o this Type 2 Diabetic diet plan for Indians (1500 calories)
What is Glycemic Index ?
The glycemic index is the capacity of a particular food as to how quickly it can raise the blood sugar level. The foods which are quickly digested and release glucose immediately to raise the blood sugar levels have a high glycemic index. whereas those foods which take longer to digest and release glucose slowly in the bloodstream are the ones with the low glycemic index.
Researches have proved that low glycemic index foods are better for the health of diabetics and those who are prone to diabetes. Constantly high levels of sugar in the blood vessel can damage these blood vessels causing greater threat and irreversible diseases of heart and other organs in the body.
Glycemic index categorization –
Glycemic – Index Diabetes
| High | 70 and Above | To be avoided completely |
| Medium | 56 – 69 | Can be eaten in restriction |
| Low | 55 and Below | Should be included liberally |
Dr. David Jenkins, professor of nutrition at the University of Toronto has developed a low glycemic index diet to benefit all the diabetics. On his guidelines, we have tried planning a Type 2 Diabetic diet plan for Indians (1500 calories)
Glycemic Index of some common foods –
| Food | GI |
|---|---|
| Roasted and salted peanuts | 14 |
| Cherries | 22 |
| Whole milk | 27 |
| Skimmed milk | 32 |
| Apples | 38 |
| Pears | 38 |
| Apple juice, unsweetened | 40 |
| Noodles | 40 |
| All-Bran | 42 |
| Oranges | 44 |
| Orange juice | 46 |
| Brown Rice | 50 |
| Banana | 55 |
| Basmati Rice | 58 |
| Honey | 58 |
| Ice cream | 61 |
| Coca-cola | 63 |
| White bread | 70 |
| Watermelon | 72 |
| Cornflakes | 84 |
Foods to include in a Low Glycemic Diabetic Diet –
In Type 2 Diabetic diet plan for Indians (1500 calories) you can include the following foods.
1] Bran can be added in your flours to reduce the GI and increase fiber.
2] whole wheat bread, Multi-grain bread with broken grains are healthier than refined flour bread.
3] The majority of vegetables are low in the glycemic index and can be liberally used in day to day life. On must always eat a variety of vegetables than repeating the same ones every day.
4] Include brown rice over white rice.
5] You can enjoy the whole wheat varieties of pasta and noodles. These are easily available in supermarkets these days.
6] salads should be a compulsory part of both main meals. This provides fiber and helps in the slow release of glucose in the bloodstream.
When to eat sweets and other high carb fruits like mangoes?
Diabetics who are fond of eating desserts and sweets get depressed when they have to keep avoiding it all the time. But this is not so. you can have sweets and mango (1-2 pieces ) during mid meals / In between 2 meals. Or early morning hours when the blood sugar levels would be lower than usual.
If you are following a Type 2 Diabetic diet plan for Indians (1500 calories), it is always better to avoid eating sweets and fruits along with the meal. As this may lead to sugar spikes in the blood.
This Type 2 Diabetic diet plan for Indians (1500 calories) plan will give you an example of how to place your fruits in eating routine.
Read – List of fruits and vegetables allowed in diabetes; blood sugar level wise.
– 1200 calories diet plan for diabetes and weight loss.
Exercise –
Normally if you ask anybody, you will be told to do morning walks for around an hour. But I think a deeper approach is needed here. To decide what exercise will suit you best, first, check your sugar levels and decide accordingly.
1 ] If fasting Blood sugar level is high:-
Fasting sugar levels are a result of the overnight hepatic output of glucose (produced by the liver during the night, unlikely of what food you ate). To control increased fasting blood sugar levels, morning walks will not be very helpful. You need to walk for 45 mins in the evening or late at night to control the fasting blood sugar level and bring the liver to produce less glucose at night.
2] Postprandial blood sugar levels are high : –
If your pp blood sugar levels are high, this is directly proportional to the food you eat. hence one must eat correctly and walk for 10- 15 mins (slow to medium pace walking) at home or parking area or terrace. These small walks after all 3 main meals will help in better digestion and utilization of already present blood glucose, making room for some more. Hence lowering your pp blood sugar levels.
Morning walks are good for overall control. Hence you must decide on your walk timings based on the current blood sugar level scenario.

Dear Payelji,
I’m 63, man, weight 80 kg, height 163 cm. Recent BS figures are: 169 (fasting) and 369 (pp). About a week ago, doctor gave me Istamet (Mitformin) but BS figures grew more after that medicine!! So I’m scared though my food intake did not awfully deviate from what was suggested. Now I have resumed my practice of morning jogging (1.5 hrs), free hand (30 mins) and pranayama (1 hr) for 2 months now & I love doing them. My questions are: (1) Will it help even if I overshoot the 1500 cal? (2) Can I have 2/3 pegs of alcohol (with salad) with a few pieces of lean meat? (3) Can I eat plenty of sweet fruits, whatever they are?
I’m scared and want to reduce my BS level fast.
I really appreciate the great free service you are rendering to our countrymen in need. Thank you so much, indeed.
Kamal
Hello sir ,
Thank you for your kind words. i am glad that i can make my knowlwdge come to use to help you all. please find your answers below –
(1) Will it help even if I overshoot the 1500 cal?
– i think you should stick with the 1200 calorie diet plan . we have that on dietburrp . do check .
(2) Can I have 2/3 pegs of alcohol (with salad) with a few pieces of lean meat?
– i feel you should avoid alcohol atleast for the time being. let your fasting and pp sugar levels decline . wait till you pp sugar is under 200 , then you can have 1-2 pegs a week . yes salad and some lean meat with it will do.
(3) Can I eat plenty of sweet fruits, whatever they are?
– when blood sugar rises above 300 , we ask patients to stop eating fruits for a while. this helps in getting the sugar levels down . you can resume eating the allowed fruits once sugar levels are below 250 mg /dl. but not all fruits.
follo our 1200 cal diet plan for diabetes . it will really help you .

Can a type 2 diabetic patient eat jowar rotis
Hi Khushi ,
Jowar has a little higher sugar in comparison to wheat , but if your sugar levels are not very high and if jowar roti is eaten once or twice a week , it wont harm . it is much better than consuming regular white rice too.

Dear Madam,
My name is Gaurav arora.Age-34 yeras old.I have been detected Type 2 disbetes since last two years.last reading was 135 fasting and 180 PP.
MY hieght is 180cm and weight 70 kg.I want to increase my weight 4-5kg.
How it can be done.
Hi Gaurav , are you taking any medication for diabetes ? was your weight always like this or is it after the detection of sugar that ypour weight has come down ?
Hi , my sugar level at fasting is 101 mg/dl level 60-110
after 2 hour 155 mg/dl value 70-150
Can you please help to know how to reduce sugar level with out medication
Hi Ajay,
at this point yopu can definitely control your sugars with healthy eating and exercises. just avoid all that is simple sugars . walk for 10 mins after each meal and instead of morning walks , walk at evening or at night to control the fasting sugar levels.
you have not mentioned your weight , if you are over weight , try to lose 2-3 kgs and your sugars will automatically come down. drink warm water and lemon and green tea without sugar several times a day .
What is the normal range for blood sugar level Fasting. Many labs in India consider it as 70-110mg, WHO recommendation , while the American Diabetes Association considers it as 70-100mg.
Hi Rajiv ,
the reference range differs as per the method of testing in the lavbs . the best way is to just look up for the reference range provided in your report by the lab that you are testing your sugar with .

Hello,
I was diagnosed with Type II diabeties , my blood sugar level on 13th August ,2015 was 325 fasting and 482 random, since then I am following strict diet control and medicine.
I am drinking karela juice every morning empty stomach after the walk.
Ten days back my blood sugar level was 112 fasting and 159 PP.
Please suggest if i continue with karela juice or switch over to methi seed soaked water?
Also how often in a week can i eat rice.
Amit
you can take either of the 2 . they are both equally helpful. you can consume brown rice 3 times or 4 times in a week in limited quantity . white rice , restrict to not more than 2 times a week . and remove the starch by cooking in excess water.

Hi Payal,
Hope you are doing excellent.
I am diagnosed type 2 blood sugar in March 2015. since then i am controlling my food habits. I did my test in Canada last month and it was controlled 5.8.
August 1,2015 my fasting sugar was 99/ 106 and Random was 136 which was under controlled.
3 weeks back i fell down and since then cannot control food and no walking.
Today my fasting is 130 which is first time since March 2015.
Can you please let me know why this sudden increase of my sugar level which was normal 3 weeks back.
I am in Saudi now.
it can be because of stress. body releases more glucose during physical or mental stress. try to get back to your food habits
Should we take this diet with medicine like metformin. or should this diet alone is sufficient with lifestyle changes such as walking.
Hi Kuntal ,
your medicine routine is not to be changed or altrered because of the diet . just monitor your blood sugars closely to make sure all goes well .
Hi Payal,
I had a health checkup on 4th August 15 and was diagnosed with diabetes 133/251 (FBS/PP) & high cholestrol. My age is 47 and weight is 87kgs.
I starting reading on diet restrictions and with the tremendous options available to diabetics on foods to eat and avoid request your suggestion. Find that methi seeds/flax seeds/Apple cider vinegar are good to have pre/post meals. Which is the best here? Should a person chose one or all The options make it all the more confusing. I work US timings and have my last meal at 1 am,sleep at 6 am and have my morning glasss of milk at 2 pm.
Regards,
Atul
use methi seeds . they are best . you can sprout methi seeds to lose weight and control sugar . hope you are taking medicines too.

Hi Madam,
I am a diabetic and pulmonary fibrosis patient. I am 65 years old and was recently diagnosed with diabetes. Due to my Pulmonary Fibrosis , I am not exercising right now. My diet plan is as follows:
Early Morning: 1 cup coffee with 2 biscuits
Breakfast: 1 Ragi Ball with sambar and vegetables
Afternoon: 1 Ragi Ball with sambar and vegetables
Mid Evening:1 Ragi Ball with sambar and vegetables
Evening: Coffee and 2 biscuits or 2 slies of Fruit
Dinner: 1 ragi Ball with sambar and vegetables
Is my Diet plan correct. I am able to control my blood sugars. But I cannot exercise. Am I eating more ? Should I decrease my diet. Any suggestions on my diet plan.
Hello mam ,
thanks for reading at Dietburrp . what i really really feel is that you are punishing yourself by eating the same food through out the day . this might also lead to nutritional deficiencies . ragi balls with veggies is indeed an healthy combination , but i really feel you should incloude more healthy options and more variety in your routine.
go for brown rice with veggies and sambar , oats upama with veggies , broken wheat daliya with veggies , pongal with veggies, whole wheat flour rotis with sabji and daal . warm milk will help too in little quantity . are you a vegetarian or a non – vegetarian ? you can also include eggs and chicken broths in your routine .

Hello Madam,
I am a medical representative, work in rural areas and stay outside from my family for almost 23 days a month due to my job posting. I have odd timings of eating,sometimes absolute rich diet,sometimes fruits, sometimes dry foods,sometimes only eat sweets in the lunch time or sometimes keep myself in empty stomach for 5-6 hours a day. But I never eat junk foods. I do not smoke. I do not drink alcohol.As I travel by bus/train thus I have to do fieldwork by walking a lot (2-6km/day). I drink 2-4 liters of water every day.
I have recently been diagnosed with Fasting venous plasma glucose result of 95 (60-110mg/dl), total cholesterol 202,HDL 40, LDL 104, VLDL 58 and TG 301 report dated 13/01/2015. Though I can realize it is the beginning but I want to be healthy and fit by following the almost similar diet chart of yours.
But due to change in regular and improper diet, I gained weight from 74 Kgs to 85Kgs in just 5 years – my height is 5 feet 10 inch and my age is 31 Years.
As My father has diabetes (type 2) and we have a history of diabetes,your information on diet in Diabetes has been impressive and important hence I thought of writing to you.
I did body building and it was my passion in the year of 1998 to 2006. After getting the job I have to quit. I wish I could do but……Now I want to know what should be my current diet and what extra care I should take for controlling or eliminating high lipid level permanently.
Thanks!

Dear Ms Payal,
I am a marketing person and keep on outdoors for almost 23 days a month. I had odd timings of eating and absolutely wrong diet.
I have recently been diagnosed with Fasting Blood Sugar of 114 (range – prediabetic 100-125) and PP Blood Sugar of 123 (70-139) report dated 15/01/2015. Though it is the beginning I follow the almost similar diet as mentioned above in your 1500 calorie chart as suggested by our family Ayurveda Physician.
But due to sudden change in regular heavy diet (may be?) I have lost of weight from 74 Kgs to 65 Kgs – my height is 163 cms and my age is 47 Years.
Your information on diet in Diabetes has been impressive hence I though of writing to you.
Now, my daily routine includes walking for 25 mnts, exercise and yogasanas for 20 mnts.
I wish to know whether my current diet of 1500 Cal is OK? and what extra care I should take for controlling or eliminating high sugar level permanently.
Thanks!

Hi Devendra,
well, since it is the beginning and you are not on any medications yet i suppose , you can ollow the 1500 calorie diet but exercise a little more . you will have to walk for 10 mins after breakfast , lunch and dinner and evening walks for 30 mins along with morning workout . this will help in getting your blood sugar regularied .
the weight loss may be due to increased sugar levels in the blood . it is very common with newly detected diabetics , as even though the blood sugar is high , it is not available to the body cells and they depend on fat cells for energy .. hence the weight loss. but that gets normal after wards .
Dear Ma’m,
Thank you for your reply. shall follow the instructions given by you. Is it necessary to test sugar levels? and if yes, at what intervals?
What are the symptoms of high sugar? I used to feel slippy sometimes while on wheels after meals. Was it because of high sugar?
How fasting and PP high sugar differ in terms of risk factor?
Thanks,
Devendra Bhagat.
yes that can be due to high sugar levels .
fasting sugar is the sugar produced by the body at night to keep the metabolic process on while you sleep. hence food does not really play a major role in fasting sugar , it is the body’s own production .
post prandial sugar / pp sugar is the blood sugar raised by the food you eat , hence it is directly related to your food intake . hence the management approach in both is different .
risk factor are same for both types . now that you are not really on medicines , you can keep a check on your blood sugar by testing it once a week , but if you see any difference in health or any health issue , you could check it on that day .
keeping a glucometer handy is better .
Dear Ma’m,
I feel I have now fair idea about what I am up to and what I am supposed to do. I will also keep regular check on sugar levels through glucometer.
Thanks,
Devendra Bhagat
sure .
Hi, my mom is 55years old and doctor told to have a low protein diabetic diet to follow. She is a diabetes patient since last 10 years. Also she cant have dal(lentil) or spinach kind of product due to protein and urea issue. creatinine about 1.8 in the last blood test. Do you have any recommendation about the diet chart she can follow.
Hi ,

Hello payal,
I was following this blog for the past of couple of days and the conversations here are absolutely promising. Now i would like to ask you a some suggestions which would help me in keeping myself healthy. I am 25 Years old, Height – 183CMS, weight 90 Kgs. I want to loose some weight. Since i work in construction site and and have a improper work timings with lot of travel it is almost impossible to hit the gym. In the last 6 years i hardly attended 2 Months of Gym. Kindly suggest me with the possible / practical diet plan.
Thank you.
Vineeth.
Hi Vineeth ,
when timings is a problem , walking is the best exercise you can do .. bcoz you dont spend money , and do it when you have time and skip it on that day if you are busy .. morning evening or night is no problem , home or office or construction site is no problem too … this way you can ensure some calorie expenditure atleast .
food wise , you can follow ny 1200 calorie diet plan mentioned on our website , choose your cuisine , we have mostly all cuisines .. if you want me to plan your diet for weight loss, please see thispage – https://www.dietburrp.com/diet-services/

Hi Payal. Nice to go through your blog. It is an eye opener for me. I am a 40 years old man and have marginally higher blood sugar level, however controlled by exercising and diet. In week days I take two glasses of green coconut water in midday/afternoon and a slice or two of Papaya after lunch. Whether this may increase my blood sugar level? Please guide. Sincerely Videsh
Hi vIDESH ,
No it will not really affect your blood sugar id you are eating right at other times of the day and exercising also.

Hi Govind sure we can help you , you can try following thr above mentioned plan or if you want a personalized plan , please see this page – https://www.dietburrp.com/diet-services/
First of all, thank you for very helpful tips and particularly these varied diet plans. I think people need plenty of awareness about diabetes management; specially what they should eat and I am sure your portal is making a lot of difference. I like the simplicity of the contents and that you have responded to each and every query raised here.
I just wanted to know how methi seeds help with diabetics. Also, do we need to consume the methi seeds as well? If yes then while having the methi water in the morning or we can have them during the day? Secondly, is this 1500 cl diet good for active people as well? As context- I am a male, 45 years of age and as per the recent blood tests my fasting sugar was 96 and PP 147. Lipid profile is normal. For example I do about 10000 steps every day – hence the question. Also, will you be able to suggest a non-veg diet as well?
Hi Sanjay ,
thanks a lot .
1] yes methi has a hypoglycemic effect , so it has the ability to reduce the relase of glucose in your blood streams for some time . so a lot of individual consume sprouted methi seeds , or soaked methi seeds and water . you can take that too. but depending on methi alone as a cure for your diabetes is not correct . i hope you understand what i mean .
2] yes a 1500 calorie diet would suit an active person like you.
3] yes , you can add some egg whites , and some lean chicken or fish dishes to this routine , twice in a week .

Age68 diabetic for 18 yrs fasting near normal but pp beyond 180. Taking insulin for 10 yrs D seen your diet chart for indian vegetarians Taking almost similar diet but feel hungry after 2 hrs of meals take tea to subside hunger till regular meal time taking one rusk with tea in the morning before breakfast how much sugar will it make. What role a peg of whiskey will play in management of diabetes please address the issues and also suggest any other diet I should take Thanks
Dear sir,
you need to walk for 10 mins after every meal to be able to control pp sugar. if you feel hungry every 2 hours, you need to consult your doctor to reduce a bit of your dosage. this will help you over all. and with the reduced insulin intake, you can walk for 10 – 15 mins after every meal , this will help in overall health management.
i do not recommend any for of alcohol, but if you really really wanna have it , you can have ax 2-3 pegs but not more. and please dont take neat, mix water with your drink, also have some salads to accompany alcohol.
Hi Payal,
My husband is suffering from diabeties from last 10 years. He is 45 now. He is on medication as well as diet control. But his glycated haemoglobin is shooting up. I give him multigrain roti in dinner with lots of vegetables. Evening walk is almost regular (30 min.) but whole day he is glued to office chair. M also giving him fenugreek seed and cinnamon powder every alternate day. NO SWEETS.
Please suggest …( His weight is 76 kg and height 173 cm)
Hi ,
glycated heamoglobin is the avegrage sugar control of the last 3 months. since when have ou started the above mentioned measures ? to see the effects of these healthy items , you ll hve to wait for 2-3 months (from the date of previous HB A1c report) and retest again to see how thi has worked. till then if his day to day pp and fasting sugars are in control you can relax . make sure he is in his right weight range.
Hi Payal,
I am justin from cochin, Kerala, i am very concerned and worried about my mother, she is now 60 years of age and is severe diabetic patient. Since we are south indians , you are well know that our tradition when comes to food is RICE. Her fasting Blood sugar level as well as Postprandial blood sugar levels are very high, i.e. more than threshold. She is always weak and she is loosing weight. Recently my father was told by his friend about some doctor who is a specialist in ayurvedic treatment of diabetics. The doctor advised treatment for a course of one month and from his dispensary he has given us the medicine for one month. Now the real crisis is that after taking the medicine my mother is shivering like anything similar to conveltions. Now i am realy afraid doctor therefore iam really requesting you to please mail me a Diet plan that suits best for south indians food habits. Iam awaiting for a reply with my fingers crossed.
Regards
Justin Jose
Hey Justin ,
well you need to consult a doctor for this shivering issue. i will be able to plan her diet if you provide me her food habit details as well as last 3 bsl reports. also please see this page – https://www.dietburrp.com/diet-services/

Should fenugreek seeds be taken as it is or as powdered form? Please suggest.
Hi Subashree,
you can soak methi seeds overnight and gulp it down with water in the morning , this will help in both sgar control and weight loss. if weight is no concern , and you need to lower your sugar, you can add 1/4 th tsp fenugreek seed powder to your vegetable gravies / flours 3-4 times a day.
