Eat less food more times in a day.

Don't consume food during night time.

Avoid rice from her diet and substitute with long wheat. Food containing fiber slows down the absorption of glucose in to the blood stream.

Check her blood glucose level (FBS or PPBS) daily.

What to eat:—

Eat unrefined serials such as brown bread, bran flakes as they contain more fiber which delays the absorption of glucose.

Foods rich in fiber like dried beans, peas and lentils, fresh vegetables and fruits.

Whole grain cereals, breads, brown rice, oat bran etc.

Use only 1–3 tsp of oil (olive oil, canola, sunflower etc) per day.

Do some regular exercise such as walking at least 30 minutes per day.

Avoid fatty foods.

Avoid saturated fat (fat from animal, ghee, butter, cheese). instead use monosaturated or polyunsaturated (olive oil, canola oil, corn oil, sunflower oil, soy oil and safflower oil).
