First of all take the proper treatment and follow up regularly so that the blood sugar is stabilised. Regarding food habits it's always better to take natural and simple staple food with all types vegetables and some fruits everyday. Avoid all types of processed food items. Eat only freshly prepared food. Wine in any form is a stimulant and so should be taken with caution. Do not depend on such things for health benefits. It is exercise and proper rest that will help you to stabilise the sugar levels soon. If interested you can add Homeopathy for general wellbeing as it can regulate your metabolism in a smooth way.

Yes. Palm wine has a low glycemic index so you can take it if you have diabetes. But always remember that excess of everything is bad. So take in limits. For your food habits, take staple food with all types of vegetables and fruits. Avoid artificial sugar such as packed juices, beverages etc.
