What foods can diabetics eat freely?
Answered by 1 Apollo Doctors
Regular and consistent diet is most important, with no feasts and fasts. Split your diet into 3-4 meals. Avoid sugar and sugar containing foods, and fried foods. Avoid fats (butter, oil, malai) and fat rich foods (puri, paratha, chat, namkeen etc.) Choose healthy carbohydrates, such as fruit, vegetables, whole grains, beans, and low-fat milk, as part of your diabetes meal plan.

View allI've had hard lumps in my chest since I was a kid, and I recently read online that it could be gynecomastia or just chest fat. I'm really confused and worried about this. How can I tell if it's actually gynecomastia or just chest fat? Also, is there any way to treat gynecomastia naturally? I'm really stressed about this because surgery and pills seem way too expensive for me. I feel embarrassed around my friends and it's affecting my mood. Can you give me some advice?

I've been dealing with diabetes for almost 17 years, and I can't seem to keep my blood sugar levels in checkthey usually sit between 180 and 240, both fasting and postprandial. On top of that, I have trouble sleeping and often wake up feeling groggy and exhausted. What can I do to better control my sugar levels?
Focus on a healthy diet rich in fruits, vegetables, whole grains, and lean proteins. Limit your intake of sugary and processed foods. Aim for regular physical activity such as brisk walking for at least 30 minutes a day. Establish a bedtime routine to improve your sleep quality. Avoid screens before bed, create a comfortable sleep environment, and aim for 7-9 hours of sleep per night. Regularly monitor your blood sugar levels throughout the day and keep a log to track patterns. This will help you and your doctor make informed decisions about your treatment plan. Remember, these are general recommendations. It's important to consult with your healthcare provider for personalized advice and adjustments to your diabetes management plan.
