2. • It’s time to debunk, once and for all, the myth of the “diabetic diet.” If you have diabetes, you
don’t have to eat special foods, and you don’t have to be executed from what “everyone else” is
eating. The truth is, everyone else should be taking their cue from what’s on your plate.
• If we look at the current eating guidelines, what recommended for people with diabetes is
virtually the same as what’s recommended for the population at large. That is the “healthy” diet
and there are some core principle that just about everyone agrees on. Those principle apply
just as much to everyone as they would to a diabetic.
• But most of all, eating well means eating with pleasure-in a relaxed and friendly environment
whenever possible. As delicious as that way of eating sounds, it is also one of the most
powerful weapons in our diabetes-fighting arsenal.

3. SOME COMMON MYTHS ARE:-

3. People with diabetes should avoid carbohydrates.
4. Diabetic Patients should not eat fruits as they are sweet.
5. Diabetic should eat special diabetic foods.

4. DIABETICS CAN TAKE HONEY AND
JAGGERY INSTEAD OF SUGAR.
Many people think that substituting jeggery for sugar is allowed even for diabetics. But jiggery has
almost the same calories as sugar. Being unrefined sugar, it has traces of iron and minerals which
make it slightly more nutritious than sugar. Honey is credited with many healing properties and is
considered “good .” It is better choice than sugar as it is a natural product and contains
fructose(fruit sugar) beside sucrose (white sugar). It is rich in some vitamins and minerals. But this
does not mean that one can consume large quantities of honey. Gram to gram, honey and sugar
are equal in calories and it should be consumed only in moderation.

5. DIABETICS SHOULD NOT EAT RICE
AND POTATOES.
Diabetics can eat rice but only in moderate amounts. Rice contains carbohydrates, which break down
into glucose that is absorbed int bloodstream. Eating too much rice in one day or at one sitting can
make your blood sugar go up. If you have diabetes, limit rice consumption and opt for better sources of
carbohydrates.
Brown rice Vs. White rice
Brown rice compared with white rice, is healthier diet
choice for diabetics. Brown rice is a whole-grain and fiber-rich
source, whereas white rice is a refined carbohydrate.
When you eat white rice, your body quickly converts into
glucose and makes your blood sugar more controllable.

6. PEOPLE WITH DIABETES SHOULD
AVOID CARBOHYDRATES.
Carbohydrates should NOT be avoided as they are body’s preferred source of energy. A healthy
diet should consist of about 60-65% of total calories coming from carbohydrates. It is important for
people with diabetes to balance carbohydrate intake with medication and exercise in order to
achieve optimal blood glucose levels.
It is the type of carbohydrates that is important. Include whole grain cereals like whole wheat and
its products, Oats Jowar in your diet. Also include vegetables to get good carbohydrates.

7. DIABETIC PATIENTS SHOULD NOT EAT
FRUITS AS THEY ARE SWEET.
It is true that fruit is a healthy food as it contains fiber and many vitamins and minerals, but fruits
also contains carbohydrates. People with diabetes need to understand the amount and type of
fruit that should be incorporated into their meal plans.
Foods with low glycemic Index and low Glycemic Load can be include like Apples, Papaya, Pear,
Kiwifurit, Cherries. Include 2 fruits (100-150gms) everyday, as fruits have antioxidants that help to
delay the complications of diabetes.

8. DIABETIC SHOULD EAT SPECIAL
DIABETIC FOODS.
There is no such thing as a diabetic diet. A healthy diet is one where you get 60-65% calories from
carbs, 15% from proteins and 20% or less from fat. And the same is applicable if you have
diabetes. Diet for diabetics should include a good amount complex carbs, vegetables and fruits. It
should be low in processed foods, fat salt and sugar. It’s better to have five small meals a day
instead of three large ones and make sure they’re well-spaced out.
One can keep this blood sugar at healthy levels and control the signs of diabetes by eating healthy
levels and control the signs od diabetes by eating healthy, getting enough exercise and
maintaining the healthy weight.

For this:-
• Eat meals at he same time daily.
• Never skip meals
• Exercise daily at the same time.
There are no foods that people with diabetes have to avoid. They can fit in almost anything as
long as it is done in healthy and balanced way.
Proper education on diabetes and diet is important in treating diabetes and preventing
complications. Eating wisely and well can help you bring your diabetes under control , even as
effectively as diabetes drugs. That’s way eating guidelines are an essential part and occasionally
the only part of any initially diabetes treatment plan.
