Keeping your meals under 40 grams of carbs is very good, and you can also drink warm water with methi seeds in the morning. It is a very practical way to keep your stomach full and sugar levels stable.
When my mother was admitted to Max Hospital, the clinical dietician strictly advised 40-45 grams of carbs per meal. Please ask your doctor clearly about your safe limit, as it depends on your current medication.
Haan, per meal around 40-45g carbs is completely fine. Par isme white rice thoda kam hi rkhna na. High-fiber roti aur dahi khao toh best rahega.
Don't worry too much about these calculations. Just keep your meals around 40 grams of carbs, eat a bowl of green salad before starting your food, and you will stay completely safe and healthy.
I ignored my meal portions and suffered from severe diabetic neuropathy complications later. Please be extremely cautious and see a specialist doctor to get a precise carb recommendation for your meals.
You can plan your meals around 40g of carbs using simple local vegetables and dals instead of buying expensive diabetic foods. Budgeting your diet like this is both practical and very healthy.
Actually, limiting carbs to 40g per meal is quite easy, yaar. I just eat one less roti and add a big portion of paneer bhurji to keep my hunger fully satisfied.
