Diabetes is a disease in which it is very important to keep the blood sugar level under control. Breakfast is considered the most important meal of the day, especially for diabetes patients (Diabetes Diet).

Therefore, diabetes patients should avoid some mistakes in breakfast. Let us know what are those breakfast mistakes, by avoiding which you can keep your blood sugar stable.

 

Diabetes patients should not make these mistakes (Breakfast Related Mistakes In Diabetes)

Eating more refined carbs

Many people eat white bread, pasta, refined flour products (such as parathas, puri, naan) or sugary breakfast cereals for breakfast. All these are refined carbs, which are digested quickly and increase blood sugar. Instead of these, use whole grains (such as oats, multigrain bread, porridge), which contain fiber and are digested slowly.

 

drinking fruit juice

Fruits are good for health, but drinking fruit juice should be avoided. Juice does not contain fiber and it releases fructose (sugar present in fruits) quickly into the blood. Instead, eat fresh fruits (such as apples, oranges, guavas), which contain fiber and are digested slowly.

 

Protein-poor breakfast

Eating a breakfast of only carbs (like just toast or porridge) can cause blood sugar to rise rapidly. Protein and healthy fats help keep blood sugar stable. Therefore, include eggs, cottage cheese, yogurt, moong dal chilla or nuts (almonds, walnuts) in your breakfast.

 

Sugar-rich packaged foods

Many people eat cornflakes, flavored yogurt, jam or sugary granola bars for breakfast. These contain hidden artificial sugars, which can increase blood sugar rapidly. Always choose low-sugar or sugar-free options and buy food items only after reading the label.

 

Fried and processed foods

Parathas, puris, samosas, maggi or packaged snacks (like namkeen, chips) contain unhealthy fats and refined carbs, which can lead to uncontrolled blood sugar. Instead, choose options that are boiled, grilled or cooked in less oil, like moong dal chilla, sprouts or roasted gram.

 

staying empty stomach for a long time

Some diabetes patients skip breakfast in the morning , which is wrong. Staying hungry for a long time can cause low blood sugar or it can suddenly rise after eating food later. Make sure to have a healthy breakfast early in the morning.

 

not getting enough fiber

Fiber helps control blood sugar. If there is a lack of fiber in breakfast, the sugar level will increase rapidly. Therefore, include vegetables (such as spinach, tomatoes), whole grains, chia seeds or flaxseeds in breakfast.
