My doctor said I need to be more disciplined with my diabetes diet, but also told me there are some things I can eat 'freely'. I'm a bit confused what that means. What foods can diabetics eat in good amounts without much worry? I'd like to include more of those.

When we say 'freely,' it's still with a grain of salt, but generally, non-starchy vegetables are a great choice. Think leafy greens like spinach, kale, lettuce, or vegetables like cucumber, bell peppers, broccoli, and cauliflower. They are low in calories and carbs, and high in fiber. Just be mindful of cooking methods.

Generally, non-starchy vegetables like leafy greens, cucumber, broccoli, and bell peppers can be eaten in good quantities. Water and unsweetened beverages are also fine. However, 'freely' is a strong word, as even healthy foods should be part of a balanced diet. Always consult with a doctor or a nutritionist for precise guidance.

Bete, my neighbour has diabetes and her doctor told her to eat as much kheera (cucumber), tamatar (tomato), and palak (spinach) as she wants. These green-green things are very good for health. Pani bhi khoob peena chahiye. Simple khana, acha sehat.

I go to Apollo Hospital for my checkups, and their dieticians always tell me that water, unsweetened tea/coffee, and most non-starchy vegetables can be consumed quite liberally. But for fruits, even healthy ones, there's a limit due to natural sugars. It's best to get a clear list from your own doctor or a dietician tailored to you.

High-volume, low-calorie foods are your best bet. Think salads (without creamy dressings!), steamed veggies, and clear broths. Protein sources like lean chicken or paneer in moderation are also great for satiety. Couple that with some light activity, and you'll feel much better.
