Indian diabetics should consume carbs, fats, and proteins in the ratio of 60:20:20. Every day the calorie intake should be between 1,500-1,800 calories based on the above mentioned ratio.

The diet should also consist of two seasonal fruits and three vegetables. Dry fruits should be limited as much as possible even though they are healthy. Fresh fruits should be preferred to dry fruits.

Having one teaspoon of methi seeds which are soaked overnight in 100 ml of water is very effective in controlling diabetes. Tomato juice mixed with salt and pepper is also helpful in controlling diabetes if it is consumed early in the morning. Consuming 6 almonds which are soaked overnight in the morning is also helpful for diabetics.
