What can a diabetic eat for lunch?

My mother was recently diagnosed and we are still learning. Is it okay to give her one small multigrain roti with a bowl of dal and green vegetables for lunch, or should we avoid wheat completely?

I totally get how overwhelming and scary it is to plan every single meal when you have diabetes. For lunch, a balanced plate with fifty percent green salad, some paneer bhurji, and a small portion of brown rice or jowar roti works beautifully and keeps your mind at peace.

My teenage son has type 1 diabetes, so I make his lunch very carefully. I usually pack a jowar roti with plenty of leafy greens and a portion of grilled paneer or dal. Just ensure they drink enough water and check their sugar before and after lunch.

I agree with the others. Having a bowl of cucumber salad right before eating your main lunch helps control sugar spikes very effectively.

A standard diabetic lunch should have jowar or bajra roti, a bowl of dal, and plenty of green salad. Avoid white rice as much as possible.

Simple rule boss: cut down the white rice and maida. Eat two mixed-grain rotis, a big bowl of seasonal green sabzi, and a cup of plain curd or dal. It is healthy, filling, and won't spike your sugar.
