<\/span>Introduction<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\nIf someone has been diagnosed with diabetes, it doesn\u2019t mean that they have to give up carbohydrates forever. It is only refined and processed carbohydrates that are not suitable for people with diabetes. The complex carbohydrates, consumed in moderation, are an essential constituent of a diabetic\u2019s meal plan. The key is to choose carbs that are rich in fibre and nutrients so that they are digested slowly and the energy released is gradual 1<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eating oats for breakfast could be a very healthy choice. Oats are a complex carbohydrate, so they provide nourishment without compromising on blood sugar levels 2<\/a><\/sup>. And they are rich in proteins as well. Instead of having a sweeter version, opt for a savoury recipe. Add vegetables of your choice.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2. Whole Grains<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Whole grains take longer to be digested and release their energy slowly. This leads to a gradual spike in blood sugar. Choose whole-wheat bread, pasta, oats, barley, and quinoa for best results 1<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3. Sweet Potato<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Sweet potato is a healthier option. It has more nutritious value and is digested gradually, thus proving to be suitable for people with diabetes. Sweel potato has shown to improve glycosylated haemoglobin levels in individuals with diabetes 3<\/a><\/sup>. Eating boiled, roasted or baked forms can show better calorie control.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Pears have high fibre content and they can be combined with apples. The density of these fruits helps balance energy levels in the body 4<\/a><\/sup>. Plus, they are rich in vitamins, minerals and antioxidants that have several other health benefits. But these fruits should be consumed whole and not in the form of juices as the drinks are devoid of fibre 1<\/a><\/sup>.<\/p>
