The most common question I hear is: "Should I switch from rice to ragi?" My answer often surprises people. Rice, wheat, ragi and millets are all predominantly carbohydrate foods. Simply changing one grain for another does not automatically make a meal diabetes-friendly. The real question is not: "What grain are you eating?" It's: "How is your plate balanced?" A simple approach I recommend is: 🥗 50% non-starchy green leafy vegetables, 🍲 25% protein (Dal, legumes, paneer, fish, eggs or lean meat), 🍚 25% carbohydrates (Rice, chapati, millets or other grains) This helps reduce blood sugar spikes, increases satiety and improves the overall nutritional quality of the meal. Many Indians consume 65–70% of their calories from carbohydrates. By increasing vegetables and protein while moderating carbohydrate portions, we can make our traditional meals healthier without giving up the foods we love. Remember: Don't just change your grains. Change your proportions. Eat more veggies and protein. — Dr. V.
