Dr. James Sebastian, MD, FAGM, one of the best diabetes doctors in Kochi.Healthy eating is a vital component of managing diabetes. Simply changing your eating habits may sometimes be enough to control your blood sugar and curb the progression of the disease. Eating a healthy and balanced diet can also help you lose any excess weight. For people with DM, carb counting is an important part of eating as intake of carbohydrates has to be limited. To keep blood sugar levels steady, try eating several small meals throughout the day. Make fruits, vegetables, whole grains, healthy fats and lean protein a more prominent part of your new and healthy diabetic diet.
