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:

  1. Portion size: Eating chapati in moderate amounts helps prevent blood sugar spikes.
  2. Whole wheat preference: Whole wheat chapati has more fiber than refined flour, aiding in better glucose control.
  3. Meal balance: Combine chapati with protein and vegetables to slow carbohydrate absorption.
  4. 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.

I'm a 26-year-old guy from Bangalore and I think I might have gynecomastia. I've been hitting the gym for the last 6 months but not seeing proper muscle growth.

I've been married for a year and a half and have been trying to conceive for the past nine months with treatment. I'm dealing with PCOD and I'm wondering if it's actually possible to conceive naturally with this condition. Any insights would really help me.

PCOD can make it more difficult to conceive, but it is still possible. Your doctor may prescribe you metformin to help regulate your menstrual cycle and ovulation. In addition, you may be prescribed clomiphene citrate to stimulate ovulation. Make sure to follow your doctor's recommendations for dosage and timing.
