How to diet control diabetes?

My doctor just told me I have pre-diabetes, and I need to control my diet strictly. I'm really confused about what I should eat and avoid. Can someone give me some practical tips on how to manage diabetes through diet?

Cutting down on white rice and adding more methi seeds to your diet is very good for managing sugar. But please remember to consult your doctor regularly and check your levels before making big changes.

Managing sugar means we have to control our cravings for heavy sweets, ho na. Try to eat smaller portions of jowar or nachni roti and consult a dietician who can guide you properly.

My dad controls his diabetes by swapping regular sugar with stevia and eating more salads before his main meals. It's tough to skip sweets but small dietary changes really help keep the numbers down.

It can feel overwhelming to restrict your food, but focusing on high-fiber vegetables and lentils really helps. Just consult a doctor or a certified dietician to get a personalized meal plan.

With busy office hours, I find meal prepping low-carb options like sprouts or roasted chana very helpful to avoid junk. Make sure to consult your endocrinologist to align your diet with your medication timings.

You don't need expensive exotic vegetables to control sugar. Simple things like whole wheat, seasonal leafy greens, and pulses are cheap and effective, but do get regular blood tests to track your progress.
