How many tortillas can a diabetic eat?

When my sugar levels were fluctuating, my dietitian allowed me to eat up to 2 small whole-wheat or multigrain tortillas for lunch, paired with lots of vegetables and lean protein. The key is to avoid refined flour (maida) completely as it spikes glucose levels instantly. I checked my sugars after eating them and it stayed stable.

I have had diabetes for fifteen years now. In my experience, eating 1 or 2 small rotis or tortillas made from wheat or jowar is perfectly fine if you balance it with a big bowl of green vegetables and dal. Don't worry, you don't have to give up your favorite foods completely, just eat in moderation.

Honestly, at this stage of life, managing carbs feels like a math exam. You can probably have 1 or 2 small ones, but you have to fill them with healthy veggies and protein instead of heavy cheese or potatoes. Just don't eat the whole packet while watching TV!

I usually stick to just 1 or 2 small whole-grain tortillas when I make wraps at home. If you buy the store-bought ones, check the back of the pack for carbs and fiber content, because some of them are loaded with maida and preservatives which will spike your sugars.
