The Indian diabetes plate, simplified

Managing diabetes is about balance and timing, not bans.

Build the plate

Half vegetables, a quarter protein (dal, paneer, eggs, fish, chicken), a quarter whole grains or millets.

Smart swaps

Whole fruit over juice, buttermilk over soft drinks, roasted over fried snacks, ragi and jowar over refined flour.

Habits

Eat at regular times, walk 10–15 minutes after meals and check HbA1c every three months.
