Hello, My husband is diabetic. Todays tests revealed 6.8 as hba1c. He leads a very sedentary life.
He however eats what I cook but wont do anything extra to better his health. Here is my current meal plan. He wont take Virgil coconut oil or heavy butter etc. We are vegetarian. I am reaching out to you to help me with the meal plan..
Here is the current meal plan:
Breakfast:
small amount of upma/ 2 small dosas + chutney/ 4 small rice idli + sambar / poha/ 2 small rava idli
some coffee
Lunch:
2 rotis + dal or sabji
1 whole cucumber sliced
Evening snack
1 apple/ 1 bowl of papaya / 1 guava deseeded.
Dinner
Diabetic rice + rasam / sambar + curd
In between he drinks 4-5 cups of coffee as he gets hungry.
Once in a while we eat out dinner.
His fasting is always about 120.
Please advice.
Thanks

I am also a recent diabetic and vegetarian. can you please post what could be be ideal diabetic food for a vegetarian from breakfast to dinner and in between snacks. so much info in the links being shared.
as informed earlier i have been following your posts and they are really very interesting, educative. Of course I have been checking on the links you have been giving. I just want to know how you have been able to be off the drugs and maintain the sugar levels in control. can you please, if you don't mind, post here, what actually you eat from the time you get up to the time you go to bed ? may be we could take some cue from those details.
