Fried Food and Diabetes: Debunking Myths - Dr Shaival H Chandalia - Video
Overview
HbA1c below 7% is crucial for effective diabetes management. The HbA1c test measures average blood sugar levels over months, offering a comprehensive view of control. This target reflects well-regulated blood sugar, reducing the risk of complications like heart disease and kidney issues. Consistently achieving this goal is essential in preventing potential long-term complications associated with diabetes, promoting overall health and well-being for individuals managing the condition.
Contrary to the popular myth that individuals with diabetes must avoid fried foods, it's important to note that moderation and smart choices can still allow for occasional enjoyment. While fried foods can impact blood sugar levels, they can be part of a well-balanced meal plan when prepared thoughtfully. Opting for healthier oils, controlling portion sizes, and considering the overall nutritional content can enable individuals with diabetes to enjoy fried foods occasionally. The key lies in mindful choices, monitoring blood sugar levels, and maintaining a balanced approach to diet within the framework of a comprehensive diabetes management plan.
In this video, Dr. Shaival H Chandalia, an Endocrinologist from Mumbai, discusses the HbA1c test done for Diabetes and the importance of keeping HbA1c levels below 7% while addressing the myth that individuals with Diabetes cannot eat fried food.
