” 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.

Hi Anita ,
have you checked your HBA1c ? that is a better way to predict is you are a diabetic. to be declared a diabetic , a person’s fasting sugar level must be greater than 126mg / dl .
however your readings are more than the normal , but not in diabetes range , hence you are a pre diabetic . check this plan – https://www.dietburrp.com/indian-diet-plan-for-pre-diabetes-reverse-food-exercise/

Hi,
Very detailed article on the Indian Diet plan for Type 2 Diabetic. Also, appreciate your responses for readers’ comments through which we get additional details.
I am a 58 Year old male. Based on your calorie calc, I need 1700 cal. My typical meal plan is very similar to your’s and will be around 1200 cal. I walk around 10 miles per wk. I do morning Yoga for around 15 mts. Drink 2 ltrs of water per day. An apple and a banana are in my daily plan. Stopped adding sugar/milk in my coffee for almost an year now. Don’t eat sweats. No juice/sodas. Weekly Golfer. I havn’t measured the carb content in my meal.
In spite of following a healthy routine, I just found out during my visit to India that my BS (Random), immediately after lunch was 262 (I went for a test for a shoulder pain). BS after 12 hrs of fasting on next day showed 192. Today, HbA1C shows 10%. I plan to consult a GP today but my approach would be no-medication and control by diet/exercise (My mom is Diabetic).
Any thoughts on what might be causing this? Though I am slim, I followed the controlled/no sugar diet to reduce my belly (I am a teetotaler) and my BS was within limits. Should I follow strict low carb or no carb diet?
Thanks,
Ravi

Hello
I am a nineteen year old boy who has been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. When I had checked my fasting sugar level two days ago, the result was 338. However, then I took some precautions and ate only 80% of the usual diet. Today, the sugar amount was reported to be 225 (Fasting, Morning).
Now, I’m obviously frustrated for having acquired diabetes at such a small age and worried about my health. I will definitely follow this diet plan to see if it’s of any help.
I have NOT consulted any professional doctor regarding this matter yet, because I see that even a slight change in my diet can affect my blood sugar levels in a big way. The drop of 113 sugar amount is itself a remarkable achievement without any medication as per the opinion of my cousin who’s currently an MS student.
Now, I wish to reduce the burden of worries by asking you the following questions:
Would I be prescribed medicines by the doctors even if the trend of declination in sugar level goes on as such, to reach the normal value?
Are you sure that the diet plan you have prescribed can help me manage my sugar levels naturally without taking medicines?
Is it a good plan for me to continue going to gym, given that I’ve been diagnosed with high sugar levels?
What should be the frequency of checking the blood sugar levels?
Look, I just don’t want to take medicines life-long for diabetes. And, secondly I don’t even know if I have diabetes, I have a feeling that it’s just a lot of accumulated sugar that would dissipate away with time when I control my diet.
Please answer my questions, correct me where I went wrong and clear my confusions.
Thanks a lot!
Hi Manish ,
Firstly , you should really see a doctor . it is not normal for a 19 year old to develop type 2 diabetes . the rise in blood sugar can be depictive of some other health issue as well. This , only a doctor will be able to rule out after examination . It is always better to be sure before you make any self assumptions .
secondly , yes , it is possible that this is diabetes and the doctor prescribes medicine . but before starting to take them , you cn give it 1 month of exercise and diet and check your levels . if you are successful in bringing down your fasting levels to less than 125mg/dl , then your sugar can be well controlled diet diet and exercise.
-yes the above mentioned diet plan will help you reducing your blood sugar levels.
– if you havent started going to gym yet , the best thing to control sugar is to start with walking . gymm workouts can be intensive and at this level can lead to hypoglycemic episodes . so to be safe , start walking for 30 mins in the morning and 30 mins in the evening or at night after dinner .
– Right now , it is best to record your fasting sugars daily once in the morning and maintain a diary to note thi down . this will help you understand your body responce nd pattern . and will be helful in future to take better steps towards your health.
– there is nothing right accumulated sugar . but nevertheless meet the doctor at the earliest to rule out any medical emergencies.
let me know if you have any further queries and how it goes with diet and exercise .

Hi Madam,
Myself Asha, I am 2 month pregnant and i have diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. I was not aware that i am diabetic hence i did not check my levels. When my pregnancy test came positive, my Gyane performed test in which i diagnosed diabetics Type 2, my fasting sugar was 275, PP 354 and my H1AC level was 12. After meeting with endocrinologist, she started insulin, now it has been ten days from first November and my sugar levels i.e fasting reduced to 130 and PP is 150. Whereas i have reduced my diet also. But since i am pregnant i need to know the diet plan which will be helpful to my baby.
Pls suggest

Hi Maam,
I saw the Diabetic 1500 cal diet plan but there is no meat included with that.
So either chicken or goat cannot be added to diabetic diet?
you can add chicken for lunch . avoid non veg for dinner and no mutton please .
