Mr. lybrate-user, Thanks for the query. To give a specific diet chart I need to know following details: Fasting, PP glucose levels, HbA1c%, present dietary habits, extent of daily exercise and drugs being taken with dosage. As regards general guidelines these are: Avoid sweets, deep fried foods, junk foods, pastries, bakery items, foods made from maida and colas. Increase the intake of green leafy vegetables, salads and permitted fruits. Always use whole grain flour for roti and chapati. Better if you use daily before every meal about 10 to 15 grams of Fenugreek seeds (roasted or as powder, Methi). Thanks.
