Yes it will help. Consult a dietician and get a diet chart for your diabetic condition made as per your requirement and need.
Yes.
Prevent surge in blood sugar after eating.
Dear user, Yes,The low GI diet appears to reduce blood sugar levels in people with diabetes. Diets higher in GI have also been associated with an increased risk of type 2 diabetes. There are studies still going on as results are satisfactory not 100%, but each body has a different way of reacting. So if you see a significant improvement after starting the diet, you can go ahead with it. It also helps in reducing cholesterol, cardiovascular diseases etc. If you found my answer helpful, please leave a like/ thanks. Thank you.

There is no hard and fast rule if any disease has to occur it will occur even if you don't take sweets life long so do not follow the saying keep oneself in healthy condition is the key
Hi Low glycemic index foods are absorbed slowly--hence the spike of blood glucose levels after eating those foods is low.They are helpful in maintaining lower glucose levels, in diabetic patients.
