Is ghee good for diabetics?
My doctor said I need to watch my diet because of my diabetes. My wife insists that ghee is healthy, but I'm unsure. Is ghee good for diabetics, or should I be avoiding it?

Many traditional systems say a little bit of pure desi ghee is good for overall health, even for diabetics, in moderation. It helps with digestion and nutrient absorption. But if you have serious diabetes, always consult your doctor or a dietician before making any changes to your diet, don't just rely on home tips.

In moderation, yes, it can be. It's a source of healthy fats.

Beta, pure desi ghee in very small quantities can be beneficial, especially for digestion and keeping the body strong. But for those with sugar, it has to be controlled. Don't overdo it, and always check with your doctor for what is right for your condition.

I've heard mixed things about ghee for diabetics! Some say small amounts are fine for healthy fats, but others are super cautious because of the fat content. It's confusing to figure out the right answer.

My grandmother, God bless her soul, always said a little pure ghee helps. For diabetics, a very small amount is usually okay. It's good for joints and digestion. But these days doctors know best, so ask them also.
