Methi or fenugreek leaves are rich in fiber and non starchy green leave vegetables. Though Methi seeds are more commonly used in treating diabetes, leaves are equally beneficial of not more in over all health. The presence of 4-hydroxy isoleucine in Methi, promotes insulin formation.
Low fat Milk products like low fat milk, cheese, paneer and yogurt are recommended for high protein value. Make sure that you use paneer made from low fat or no fat milk. In absence of it, I recommend the use ofextra firm tofu or bean curd.
The health benefits of almonds for the diabetic are being explored. Studies have found that almonds had beneficial effects on serum lipids in the diabetic patient, they reduce the surges in blood sugar by decreasing both insulin secretion and fat oxidation stress, and improving fat and glucose profiles due to the increase in blood plasma vitamin E. Diabetics who eat nuts along with foods with a high-glycemic index such as pasta could potenitally slow their absorption of carbohydrate, stabilizing blood glucose levels.—————————————————–
