As per the Indian Council of Medical Research – India Diabetes (ICMR INDIAB) study published in 2023, India has over 101 million people with diabetes. This testifies to the label of India being the diabetes capital of the world. A sedentary lifestyle, stress and unhealthy diet are some of the most common causes of diabetes especially among the young. Although this disease is incurable, doctors state that a combination of proper diet and regular physical exercise is effective in managing blood sugar levels. 

Easier said than done, most diabetics struggle to chalk out the perfect diet plan for themselves. Many also feel frustrated given the availability of limited food options as a majority of food items today have sugar content in them. This makes diet planning daunting and calls for a list that clearly lays down the foods one can and cannot eat. Well, you have one.
