really true that in diabetes management we have to stop milk and dairy products let's find out the answer so in this uh review article uh Dairy consumption and risk of type 2 diabetes was assessed uh indeed uh the uh lowfat dairy products especially yogurt has shown to decrease the progression to diabetes or controlled diabetes While most of the other dairy product uh have not shown any benefit in terms of prevention of diabetes but at the same time it is important dairy product does not cause spike in the sugar values or they are harmful for uh diabetes patients so the truth is uh dairy products are not bad for diabetes avoid full cream milk and when should dairy products or milk should be stopped so stop milk if someone has lactose intolerance which we call it as milk allergy scam number two uh sugar-free sweets cakes biscuits are good for uh diabetes so you must have seen lots of uh marketplaces they show that this Suite is diabetes free diabetes patient can consume these uh sweets without any problem so is it true these sugar-free sweets they are indeed high in saturated fats saturated fat is a bad fat and over calorie calories are very high in these uh sugar-free sweets sweeters which are used in PR ation of these sweets can have a laxative effect for that you can watch our other video on artificial sweetener uh they are indeed costly also so better to save your

uh in WhatsApp groups uh you must have uh seen that YouTube video mahs and your diabetes will be under control that is a total scam no truth about eating only fruits will control your uh diabetes indeed it can backfire so in this review article fruit consumption and the risk of type two diabetes uh with the help of these studies it has been found that uh fruit intake does not help in excess of fruit intake does not help in diabetes control neither uh these fruit intake they predispose to diabetes moderate intake of fruits will not cause diabetes so uh truth is fruits in moderate quantity can be taken like two or three serving in a day uh there is no conclusive evidence that fruits they impair diabetes control indeed lots of fruit or fruit juice uh can have high fructose and high fructose in turn lead to high tricide values scam number four shift only let's discuss so the uh thing which is important for any grains or cereals is the glycemic index so glycemic index key is ke how fast blood glucose level increase after consumption of a particular uh meal or a particular cereal or grape so let's compare these glycemic index uh first is per milit which is bajra so glycemic index is 54 and glycemic index of till 55 below 55 is good glycemic index uh 55 to 70 are moderately high glycemic index and more than 70 is a high glycemic index so our aim will be to have a diet which is uh having Cals which are low in glycemic index uh glycemic index for ragi is 55 for jar it is 62 now come to the wheat glycemic index of whole wheat it is 45 so you can see it is lowest among all these uh cereals now the second aspect is the nutritional value of these uh grains uh permit that is bajra it is high in magnesium potassium and antioxidants while wheat is high in fibers as well as B complex are there in wheat iron and zinc ragi is rich in uh proteins calcium iron and antioxidants and jar is rich in uh fibers iron calcium potassium and phosphorus so that means each grain has different nutrition value which is important for a normal uh individual uh now uh conclusion uh consumption of whole Gra and risk of type two diabetes so whole grain include everything including the wheat so it has inverse relationship with the diabetes that means more of whole grains will have a good diabetes control or prevent the diabetes now in conclusion uh there is no need to stop wheat avoid wheat if someone has wheat allergy or which we can call it as a gluten allergy and every grain has different nutrient nutrition value which is important for health so you can take uh any of these uh grains there is no need to stop wheat at all so these grains or the diet should be individualized scam number five we will reverse your diabetes so so many patient they are fed up taking medications monitoring their sugar levels going to the doctor so they want some magic their diabetes can be reversed they ask these questions or diabetes can be cured so is it true that diabetes can be reversed so what is the meaning of a reversal meaning of a reversal or cure is ke that particular disease is completely gone there is no need to take any medications and there is no need for any monitoring so is it true so the answer is uh Ada guidelines or Diabetes Care General has uh released this publication in which they uh have not promoted the word of reversal they have given a word known as remission of diabetes so the meaning of the remission of the diabetes is hb1c below 6.5 uh for at least 6 months after the Cession of glucose lowering pharmacotherapy so remission is possible but if individual is not doing lifestyle modification diabetes can come back again uh sugars can be uncontrolled so in conclusion uh there is nothing like a reversal or cure so use your wisdom before going for these uh programs medicines can be stopped but lifestyle modification should be on a continuous basis so hopefully with these uh top five scam and the real truth behind these uh scams uh you are uh you will be able to take a correct decision in the management of your diabetes if you have any further doubts or queries you can put in the comment box thank you
