1. Reduce oil- Use the oils such as mustard or olive in small amounts.
2. Do not consume sugar and jaggery- Even unrefined sweeteners increase sugar.
3. Add fibre- Wholesome grains such as oats, ragi, bajra or brown rice can be used.
4. Controlled servings- Healthy foods should be served in large quantities since they can increase the blood sugar level.
5. Eat uncooked- Prefer fresh over any prepared food, including the very processed ones.
