Can diabetics eat wheat chapati?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Yes, eating whole wheat chapati is a better alternative than white rice. Wheet is low glycemic index, better source of fiber, protein and also keeps one's stomach full for longer.

A 50-year-old woman with diabetes can generally eat wheat chapati, but portion control and overall diet balance are important. Wheat chapati is a source of complex carbohydrates and fiber, which can be beneficial for blood sugar control when eaten in moderation.
Key points to consider:
- Portion size: Eating chapati in moderate amounts helps prevent blood sugar spikes.
- Whole wheat preference: Whole wheat chapati has more fiber than refined flour, aiding in better glucose control.
- Meal balance: Combine chapati with protein and vegetables to slow carbohydrate absorption.
- Monitor blood sugar: Keep track of blood sugar levels to see how chapati affects you personally.
If there are any specific dietary restrictions or complications, consulting a dietitian or healthcare provider is advisable for personalized guidance.
