Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query. A person with diabetes should avoid sweets, deep fried foods, junk foods, pastries, bakery items, foods made from maida, colas, fructose corn syrup containing foods. Also red meat. Should consume more of green vegetables, salads and permitted fruits (100 g a day). Refrain from alcohol & smoking. Always use whole grain flour for roti and chapati. Plus total caloric intake should be based on ideal body weight, extent of daily exercise and blood glucose levels. Thanks.
