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.

View allWhat happens if I miss my thyroid medication one day?
Levothyroxine has longer half-life, so a person would not have much effects if you miss one dose. Take the missed dose as soon as you remember it. However, if it is almost time for the next dose, skip the missed dose and continue your regular dosing schedule. Do not take a double dose to make up for a missed one.

I'm looking at these numbers on my health report and I'm a bit concerned. My GGT level is 130, which I know isnt great. I dont drink, and I try to keep a fairly healthy lifestyle. I had a baby about a year ago and recently recovered from Covid. Also, my T4 level is showing as 3.8, which seems low, and my Vitamin B12 is high. Could this be from the postnatal vitamins I was taking, which I've stopped now? Id really appreciate your advice on what could be going on.
GGT level of 130, as it may indicate liver stress or bile duct issues, potentially related to postpartum hormonal changes, COVID-19 infection, or other factors, and also review your thyroid function, as a low T4 level of 3.8 may suggest hypothyroidism, although your Vitamin B12 levels are high, likely due to postnatal supplements get s liver function tests, thyroid antibody tests, or an ultrasound, to determine the underlying cause and develop an appropriate treatment plan.

Im really worried because I can feel my heart rate is really high and fast, even when I'm just resting. Its been at 94-95 bpm since this afternoon, and I'm not sure why. I have hypothyroidism and Im on 25 mcg of thyronorm. Could that be affecting my heart rate? I'm kinda scared. Any advice would really help.
Given the situation, it's essential to take precautions. Consult a doctor immediately, as cat scratchesbites can transmit rabies and tetanus. Even without visible wounds or symptoms, it's crucial to consider post-exposure prophylaxis (PEP) for rabies. Tetanus injection is recommended, especially since your last booster was in 2016. Antirabies injection might be necessary, depending on the doctor's assessment. Don't delay; seek attention within 24-48 hours.
