Is soy flour good for diabetes?

I have been reading so much about this lately because my dad has borderline sugar and it makes me so nervous. Soy flour has a low glycemic index, but what if it affects other things like hormones? Maybe you can start by mixing just a tiny spoonful of it with regular wheat flour and checking your post-meal readings after that?

I have been diabetic for twelve years and soy flour has been a staple in my kitchen. The key is balance; pure soy flour does not bind well for making soft rotis, so always mix it with wheat or jowar flour. Also, monitor your portion sizes because even healthy flours have calories that add up.

Actually, yes, soy flour is quite good for managing blood sugar levels because of its high protein and fiber content. I have been using a 1:4 ratio of soy flour to multigrain atta for my parent's meals. Just buy a small pack first to see how it digests, some brands can be quite heavy on the stomach.

Honestly, keeping up with diabetic diet rules is exhausting, I barely get five hours of sleep managing work and kitchen. Soy flour works well because it keeps you full longer, so you do not wake up at midnight hunting for snacks like I do. Just mix a little bit of it in your daily atta, but do not make pure soy rotis because they taste like cardboard.

Yes, soy flour is an amazing option for diabetics! It has so much protein and very low carbs, which is perfect for keeping those sugar spikes in check. 😊 Try mixing it with your normal rotis and let me know how it goes!

My uncle started using soy flour rotis last year on his doctor's advice. His sugar levels are definitely more stable now because the carb load is much lower than normal white rice or maida. Give it a shot, but keep checking your glucose levels regularly to see if it actually suits your body.

You do not need to buy those expensive packaged diabetic attas from the supermarket. Just go to your local flour mill, buy regular wheat, add some roasted chana and a small portion of soy flour, and get it ground together. It is very light on the pocket and works beautifully for controlling daily sugar spikes.
