Ragi is grain. For diabetic it will raise BS. If you have meter then test it.

Well Just adding one more point if u have ever tried " Britannia Nutri Choice Ragi "

Per Serve 25g (3 Cookies) Carbohydrates 16.8 g

Which means you still be hungry after eating 3 biscuits if you eating Ragi in other forums which also means you be eating good amount of Carbs as its been suggested you should always test with meter , and if i were you i rather take Nuts ( peanuts ) 100g gives you 16g cabrs which much more filling will avoid you getting hungry for longer then Ragi but the actual difference u will find when you take the blood readings . hope it helped you .

These websites have great info,but the best thing is to do is to rely on a glucometer and test every hour. Also test after three hours, four hours and five hours as things like pasta with cheese may show high readings only after four hours (phlaunt.com/diabetes/140469....
