Food For Blood Sugar Control: Diabetes disease stays with man throughout his life. In this condition, our body is either not producing enough insulin or is unable to respond to the insulin produced. In this regard, Dr. Manju Panda, Diabetes Educator, Max Super Specialty Hospital, Saket, New Delhi, says that diabetics should keep eating at regular intervals so that there is no sudden drop in blood sugar. Apart from this, a diet rich in fiber and antioxidants should be consumed. Take special care that the time between breakfast and afternoon lunch, which is called pre-lunch, try to eat something light at that time. In this, while dividing your food, you should also keep in mind that how many calories you have to take daily in your diet. Because, more calories for diabetic patients leads to sugar and weight gain.
