What's better for diabetes?

My husband was recently diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. The doctor gave him some medicines, but I want to know about diet. What kind of foods should he be eating or avoiding to manage it better?

I was diagnosed with pre-diabetes last year and it was a wake-up call. What really worked for me was cutting down on refined carbs, adding more fiber-rich foods like whole grains and lentils, and walking daily. My doctor also stressed portion control. It's manageable, just takes discipline!

For diabetes, good diet and regular exercise are very important. Please consult your doctor for a proper plan. Small changes can make a big difference.

Look, with diabetes, no shortcuts. You need to follow your doctor's advice on medication, diet, and exercise. Don't rely only on home remedies. Regular check-ups are also super important to monitor your sugar levels.

I know it can feel overwhelming trying to figure out what works. I tried so many things! Bitter gourd juice, fenugreek seeds... some help a little but they aren't a cure. The best thing is a balanced diet, regular exercise, and consistent doctor visits. Don't give up!

As someone who deals with insulin resistance due to PCOS, I understand how frustrating managing blood sugar can be. It's not just about what you eat, but also when and how much. Please get regular blood tests and work with an endocrinologist or a good dietitian. What works for one person might not work for another.

Managing diabetes is a long-term thing, so don't get disheartened. The best approach is a combination of things: proper medication (if prescribed), a balanced diet with controlled carbs and sugars, and consistent physical activity. Get advice from a good doctor and nutritionist to create a plan that suits you.

Hey! My nani has diabetes, and for her, consistency is key. Eating meals at fixed times, avoiding sugary drinks completely, and going for walks after dinner really helps. Also, portion control is a big thing. It's a journey, be kind to yourself!
