Today most people in India are suffering from type 2 diabetes. Due to type 2 diabetes our body becomes sensitive to insulin. Insulin resistance is a complex condition in which the body stops working against insulin. A big reason for this is our diet. We consume more carbs in our diet. Due to which insulin stops working in our body.
Dr. Abhishek Kumar Srivastava, Ayurveda Expert at Sri Sri Well Being According to this, many people say that we do not eat sugar but we eat jaggery. If you pay attention, you will find that jaggery also contains carbohydrates, though a little less than sugar. White sugar, jaggery, rice, wheat flour, if we talk about fruits, banana, mango, potato curry, all these have a very high amount of carbohydrates.
You should not consume these because they have a very high glycemic index. The amount of carbohydrates is measured by the glycemic index. Even milk increases your insulin level because milk contains lactose sugar. All the milk we get from animals contains lactose and it increases insulin.
This should be the diet plan of diabetes patients
While eating, take as much salad as possible in your plate like cucumber, kachori, leafy vegetables and one fourth of the plate should have protein food like dal, paneer, mushroom and in the remaining one fourth of the plate you should take carbohydrates. For example take potato curry, corn curry, roti or rice. By maintaining this combination in food you can avoid diabetes and if you have diabetes then you can keep it under control.
What should be the diet of diabetic patients?
- Often people want to know what diet they should take to maintain their glucose level. So, people who are suffering from diabetes should not consume wheat and if they are consuming it, then consume it in less quantity. Also, do not consume rice and jaggery. Eat chapattis made of barley flour or if you want, you can mix barley flour with wheat flour.
- Consume green leafy vegetables as much as possible.
- Reduce your intake of potatoes.
- Use less corn flour and also reduce your corn intake.
- A diabetic patient should also not consume honey, sugar and jaggery.
Right time of eating according to Ayurveda
Ayurveda has been saying for a long time that if you want to stay healthy and fit, then do not study. Study means eating frequently. Some theory was going around that people suffering from diabetes should eat small meals every two hours to maintain their sugar level. Eating frequently produces insulin in our body and the more insulin there is, the more the risk of diabetes will increase in our body. Many people drink tea every 2-3 hours. Excessive consumption of tea also increases the risk of diabetes. By eating less and on time, our body can easily digest that food.

Causes of diabetes and ways to prevent it
- The biggest reason for diabetes is lack of physical activity. If you just sit all day, do not walk, do not do any exercise. In such a situation, the risk of diabetes increases in your body. So just give up your laziness.
- Another cause of diabetes is stress. Today’s lifestyle is full of stress. You should know how to manage your stress and reduce it. Art of Living’s Happiness Program can help you a lot in this. Through Pranayam, Sudarshan Kriya and meditation, you can not only reduce your daily stress but also control it.
- The third cause of diabetes is obesity. If the ratio of your weight and height is not correct, then the risk of diabetes increases in you. Earlier it was said that people who are fat belong to well-off families. But this is not the case in today’s era, today those who have a protruding belly are at high risk of getting diabetes. Those whose waist size is more than their height can be at risk of getting diabetes.
keep these things in mind
- The fourth major cause of diabetes is sleep. In today’s lifestyle, staying awake till late at night and getting up late in the morning is considered very good. People use mobile phones all night long which directly affects their sleep. If the quality of your sleep is not good or your sleep is interrupted in between or you are sleeping for only 4 to 5 hours. In such a situation, phlegm starts increasing in your body and the chances of increase in insulin in you become strong. Make sure to sleep for 7 to 8 hours and give complete rest to the body.
- There are three juices in our body – sweet, sour and salty. If we consume them in excess, then phlegm increases in our body and the risk of diabetes increases.
- Also, people who consume non-vegetarian foods or seafood are at a higher risk of developing diabetes.
