What is the best diet for diabetics?
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.

I'm dealing with some issues related to pcos, like acne on my face, irregular periods, and hair growth on various parts of my body and face. I did an ultrasound, and it showed a cyst on my ovary. The doctor prescribed me some pills which worked when I took them, but once I stopped, all these problems came back. I'm wondering why this happens and what I can do about it? What other treatment options are there, or do I need to continue with the pills indefinitely?
