Glycemic index (GI) is like a rating for foods that have carbohydrates. It tells you how fast your blood sugar goes up after you eat them.

People with diabetes should opt for low glycemic index (GI) foods because they help keep blood sugar levels stable. These foods, like whole grains and vegetables, release their energy slowly, preventing rapid spikes in blood sugar. For instance, think of white bread as having a high GI; it quickly raises blood sugar.

On the other hand, foods like brown rice (with a lower GI) release energy more gradually, which is better for those with diabetes.

This steadier blood sugar control reduces the strain on insulin and is key to long-term diabetes management.

A Gujarati favorite, these flatbreads are made from whole wheat flour, fenugreek leaves (methi), and spices. They are nutritious and diabetic-friendly.
