Eat chana daal (Bengal gram daal) since it has lowest GI index of all foods

[Ashka9]

It has almost no effect on your blood glucose level. This is something that is very important to anyone with diabetes and to many other people as well. Technically, it has one of the lowest indexes of any food on the glycemic index, 8 (where glucose = 100). Its index is 5 according to one study and 11 according to another.

This bean looks just like yellow split peas, but is quite different because it doesn't readily boil down to mush. It's more closely related to garbanzo beans, or chickpeas. The differences are that chana dal is younger, smaller, split, sweeter, and has a much lower glycemic index.

The best part is that besan or Bengal gram as daal actually has little spike and also offers what's called as 2nd meal effect.. ie the sugar levels will be lower in the subsequent meal.... provided no snacks are taken in between.
