These 7 breakfast foods will work like magic in controlling diabetes

Living with a diabetic patient, meal planning can be a bit challenging. However, even if you exclude sugar or sweets, there is no loss in taste. A proper, sugar-free and nutritious breakfast helps in controlling blood sugar levels and also protects against other complications.

Breakfast is considered the most important meal of the day. So here are some easy, healthy and tasty options for diabetics—

1. Besan Chilla

Small pancakes made from chickpea flour. Can be made delicious with onions, tomatoes, spinach and spices. Served with mint chutney, it is nutritious and satisfying.

2. Brown Rice Poha

Ordinary poha can cause problems in diabetes. However, making poha with brown rice and adding lots of vegetables and peanuts increases fiber and protein.

3. Oatmeal

Oatmeal contains soluble fiber that helps control blood sugar levels. Oatmeal made with carrots, beans, and peas is filling, easy to digest, and low in sugar.

4. Spinach and Feta Omelette

A fluffy omelette made with spinach and feta cheese. Served with whole wheat toast for a more nutritious meal.

5. Boiled Eggs and Toast

Eggs are low in carbohydrates and high in protein. Boiled or scrambled eggs with whole wheat toast make a balanced breakfast.

6. Moong Dal Chilla

Mung dal soaked and blended makes a protein and fiber-rich, low-glycemic chilla. Maintains energy and controls appetite.

7. Cottage Cheese Bowl

Make a bowl by mixing seasonal vegetables and lightly baked cottage cheese. Serve with salad dressing or dip of your choice. According to research, dairy products help reduce insulin resistance in diabetes.
