Hello Diabetic patient can have a cup of coconut water as its an excellent electrolyte that helps regulating blood sugar levels. Ragi is rich in dietary fibre, antioxidants and is anti diabetic. Milk products are allowed too. 1 cup of curd from toned milk or 75g of paneer made from toned milk and cow's milk 1 cup. Thank you

Lybrate-user, yes a person with diabetes can drink cocnut water, in 100 g it gives about 19 calories. Plus provides some electrolytes, some fibers and vitamins. Ragi whole grain flour is definitely healthy, 100g of ragi flour gives 71 to 89 % complex carbs proteins 5.8 to1 2 % and fibers 3.5 to 3.9% and fat 1.3 to3.7 %, in addition it contains minerals and vitamins. Hence dishes made out of ragi are healthy and nutritious, all milk products are good but they should have low fat. Thanks.
