✨ Day 7 — Final Day of Diabetes 101 ✨

GI, GL & Making Your Everyday Rotis/bread/pancake/parathas Safer.

We’re closing the Diabetes 101 series with one of the most powerful tools for blood sugar control — understanding Glycemic Index (GI), Glycemic Load (GL) and how to work with the grains you eat every day.

GI = how fast a food raises blood sugar
GL = how much it raises blood sugar (GI + portion size)

Small differences here can change everything.

Today’s post covers:
🌾 GI & GL of commonly used flours (wheat, ragi, jowar, makke, rice)
🌱 Lower-GI alternatives (foxtail, browntop, barnyard, kodo, khapli, buckwheat, amaranth, quinoa)
🛠️ Simple hacks to lower GI of your regular chapati flour — without changing your meals
(hello besan, fiber, ghee, lemon, mixed grains & cooling–reheating!)

Because diabetes care isn’t about eating less.
It’s about eating smarter.
