Diabetes patients must know these 5 things
- Once diabetes occurs, it cannot be completely cured, although you can definitely keep it under control through proper diet and proper lifestyle.
- Patients should monitor their blood sugar regularly so they can understand which foods affect their sugar levels. Check your sugar level with a glucose meter, keep a record and share it with your doctor.
- Diabetics should eat whole fruits instead of drinking fruit juice because fiber gets destroyed in juice, whereas fiber intake is very important for diabetic patients. Prepared juices should also be avoided as they contain added sugars which can increase blood sugar.

- Diabetics can only eat fruits with low glycemic index, this does not increase blood sugar, hydration is also very important.
