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.

I've been experiencing some sudden changes lately that have me a bit worried. I've gained weight unexpectedly, and on top of that, I've developed rashes on my hands. My hair is starting to gray, I've been dealing with headaches and acidity issues, and my ability to concentrate and grasp information seems to have reduced. I'm also feeling really fatigued. Could these symptoms be related, and what might be causing all of these changes?

I'm a university student and I've noticed disc-shaped lumps under both nipples on my chest, with the left one being slightly larger. It's causing me a lot of distress and embarrassment. Can this be treated with medication or is surgery the only option?
Pubertal gynecomastia often resolves on its own, but persistent distress may need surgical correction; medication has limited effect once gland is fully developed.
