Diabetes Mellitus has emerged as one of the most common health conditions around the world. Diabetes occurs when your body is either not producing enough insulin or is not able to respond to the insulin produced. The condition has no known cure as of now, but as per experts, it can be controlled to a great extent by making wise choices. A good diet and a healthy lifestyle have been linked to effective diabetes management. If you happen to be diabetic or pre-diabetic, you should focus more on eating high fibre foods and foods with a low Glycemic index. These foods do not get digested too soon, thereby prevent abrupt blood sugar spikes. Something like Kala chana or black chickpea could be a great idea. According to the American Association of Diabetes, pulses and legume may help regulate blood sugar levels.
