Normal wheat does not totally substitute Long wheat. Try other substitutes . I have once written in this forum that I could very well use Quinvoa grains when I was in States where long wheat is not available. In fact it gave me better results.

Long wheat is not a magic for diabetic patients. There can be other options. Wish you good luck.

Consume oats porridge with milk which will reduce your LDL cholesterol. Brown rice and long wheat have more or less the same glycemic index. The glycemic index for whole wheat chapati is about 62. Brown rice boiled has GI of 68 +/- 4.
