Diabetes diet
Diabetes diet should have the ratio of 60:20:20 for carbs, fats and proteins. Daily calorie intake
should be between 1,200-1,500 calories with a proportion of 60:20:20 between carbohydrates,
fats and proteins. Add two seasonal fruits and three different vegetables in the diet plan.
Take fresh fruits rather than dry fruits for controlling hyperglycaemia. High fructose in dry fruits
can spike your sugar level. Fruits with high in fibre such as papaya, apple, orange, pear
and guava should be consumed. Other fruits like grapes, mangoes and bananas should be consumed
lesser or avoid because they contain high fructose.
To prevent high and low blood sugar value fluctuation, it is better to take small meals frequently.
Dhokla, fruit, high fibre cookies, butter milk, yogurt, upma / poha and boiled vegetables would be
a perfect snacks.
Artificial sweeteners
Avoid artificial sweeteners. Most of the artificial sweeteners are made with Aspartame and increased
risk of cancer, including a significantly higher risk of leukemia. Avoid artificial sweetener brand
names Splenda ® , NutraSweet® and Equal® as they contain Aspartame. Also artificial sweeteners can
increase appetite and maintain cravings for sweet food. Avoid carbonated drinks as most of the
carbonated drinks uses Aspartame as sweetener.

sugar and Stevia is a sweetener and sugar substitute extracted from the leaves of the plant species
Stevia rebaudiana.

Type 2 Diabetes and Exercise- Exercise Makes It Easier to Control Your Diabetes
When you have type 2 diabetes, physical activity is an important component of your treatment plan. Increase
activity in general such as walking or climbing stairs rather than a particular type of exercise.
Exercise can reduce the glucose in your blood. Muscles can use glucose without insulin when you’re exercising.
In other words, it doesn’t matter if you’re insulin resistant or if you don’t have enough insulin:
when you exercise, your muscles get the glucose they need, and in turn, your blood glucose level goes down.
