Welcome to the group, Rajeshkumar5757. Please let us know more about you and your conditions. Please tell us your age, height, weight, and blood sugar numbers including HbA1c if you have.

Yes, diets have the most profound effect on control of blood sugar in particular PPBS value. Therefore one should choose right food. Low carbohydrate diets are generally suitable for diabetes but it depends on individual's conditions.

Diabetes mellitus is termed as "the mother of all diseases" and sadly despite of tremendous research by medical industry, a permanent solution for it is yet to be found. It is the fifth leading cause of death worldwide.

Anti-diabetic medications will not fully control your blood sugar. The gap will have to be filled by diet and exercise. Even if you take external insulin, it may lead to insulin resistance. You have to increase the dosage of insulin as the time passes.

You have to select food items having low glycemic index based on your taste, quality and quantity.
