lybrate-user, The information given is very general, nothing is mentioned about blood glucose levels, HbA1c%, drugs being taken and dosage etc. Therefore, it is very difficult assess anything. Or give any suggestion. Usual precautions for a diabetic patient are: 1) Avoid sweets, deep fried foods, junk foods, pastries, bakery items and those made out of maida. Avoid sweetened aerated drinks (colas), sweet corn syrup containing products, highly processed packaged foods and red meat. Plus total dietary intake should be such that it meets the exact caloric needs based on ideal body weight. Plus a daily exercise of 1 hour is a must. Consume more of green leafy vegetables and salads. Thanks.
