Manage diabetes and enjoy Diwali

This festive season, you may feel obliged to eat more or savour different treats that are being offered up at meals and social gatherings. This may not be ideal for those with diabetes as they may lose control of their usual dietary patterns, which would result in higher sugar levels. Try eating very less sugary sweets or switch to sugar-free or sugarless sweets to keep your blood sugar under control. Do not eat the silver foil you find on the sweets, as it can be adulterated and made of aluminium instead, which is injurious to your health. This tip is especially for all the diabetics, you can even have more of dry fruits instead of sweets. Make sure you don't consume too many raisins if you suffer from diabetes as they raise sugar levels drastically!
