While welcoming your initiative to suggest a few dietary items suitable to control diabetes, it is difficult to support or deny as diets in India vary from state to state and is as diverse as culture. Best appears to be in touch with a certified dietician and follow or try the suggested diet on yourself and find out if your diabetes gets controlled.

Any other suggestion is subjective and unbelievable.

You can have full cream milk ,about a cup in place of skimmed milk . Pulses and grains you should have in limited quantity only .The rest of your meal should consist of green and low carb veggies the list of such veggies is available on net. If you restrict your carbohydrates to about 100 gms /day you can snack on nuts like almonds, walnuts. pine nuts ,coconut flakes,roasted peanuts , melon, pumpkin or sun flower seeds .You can also have restricted amount of fruits such as guava, apple (half) ,strawberries,orange papaya etc. for drinks you can have green tea ,neebu paani (no sugar), bullet proof coffee, normal tea or coffee without sugar and soups made of tomato ,spinach or mushrooms or chicken with a scoop of butter or cream .Having an omelette fried in ghee or butter is also a wonderful idea to drive away hunger pangs as eggs have negligible amount of carbs.Please go through old posts of senior users like Cure , Shashikantiyengar , suramo etc. to know more
