Dear Pooja,
I am suffering from diabetes since the last six years. I have tried various diets but none seem to work for me. Ideally, which vegetables should I eat and avoid?

The best most effective way to balance blood sugar levels is to eat every two hours. At the cost of sounding repetitive (over and over again) eating two hourly is the most optimum way to provide fuel to the body. When eating small meals frequently there is never excess rise in the sugar levels that lead to the excess being stored as fat and neither are there lows or drips in the blood sugars levels that lead to binge eating large portions (especially of wrong meals) that soar the sugar to unnecessary levels. I have effectively improved the glycosylated hemoglobin (average sugar control in the body for an average of three months) of so many just by this simple formula of frequent small meals. While trying to control the sugar levels eating two hourly also helps you knock off weight, which in turn again helps in managing the diabetes better. Another ace in the management of diabetes and in general a healthy lifestyle is to clock about three to four hours of cardio a week. All vegetables are good for you Aliyas I wouldn’t worry about vegetables – even a potato upto a 100grams a day is allowed. So start small and simple- break up everything you eat into small eight to ten meals a day and get your diabetes and your health in your hands. Good luck!
