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'm really worried because my blood sugar is higher than it's ever been. I'm already on BP meds and I'm overweight. Should I think about starting medication for my sugar levels now? Is it even possible to get my levels back to normal at this point?
It's most likely diabetes and you should start medicines for the same. Better to confirm the sugar levels once again before starting medicines.

I have small breasts and want to increase their size naturally without surgery. Are there any non-surgical options or treatments that actually work? Also, can you recommend specialists who help with this?
you can't significantly increase breast size naturally without surgery, certain exercises and lifestyle choices can improve the appearance of your breasts and strengthen the underlying muscles. Exercises like push-ups, chest presses, and arm circles can tone the pectoral muscles, which can create a more lifted and firmer appearance. Additionally, maintaining a healthy weight can also contribute to a fuller chest.
