All vegetables are rich in fibre and starch. Carbohydrates can be divided into two types – simple sugars and complex sugars. Simple sugars include the sugar that we use for beverages and sweets. Intake of simple sugars will elevate the blood sugar levels in a patient.
✅ Complex sugars on the other hand prolong the digestion process. Complex sugars that are present in vegetables like bitter gourd will help maintain the blood sugar at an optimum level.
✅ Thus consuming vegetables like bitter gourd is good for diabetes patients since it helps maintain a low glycemic index. However, it is still not proven whether bitter gourd can cure
diabetes.
✅ Take a lot of vegetables especially the ones that are colourful. Avoid white-coloured foods.
