How is type 2 diabetes related to diet?

Honestly, my diet consists of cold coffee and late-night maggi, which is a disaster for blood sugar. Type 2 is directly linked to diet because refined carbs and processed foods overload your insulin system. If you eat better, your body actually processes glucose much more smoothly.

I worry so much about diabetes running in my family, so I constantly read up on glycemic index. What we eat directly impacts insulin resistance, as high-carb foods make the pancreas work double-time. Cutting down on white rice and maida really helps keep things under control, so please try that.

I've been trying to cut out sugar and simple carbs to prevent diabetes, but I find it so hard to resist rice and rotis. Does anyone else get super anxious and feel completely lost trying to plan a low-carb Indian diet? It feels like everything we traditionally eat is full of carbs.

Dealing with my thyroid has shown me how much our hormones rely on what we eat. In Type 2 diabetes, a diet high in fiber and low in refined sugars helps prevent sudden glucose spikes. You should definitely get your blood sugar tested regularly and work with a clinical dietitian to plan your meals.
