diabetes diet for vegetarians in India
Many diet scemes for Diabetes are based on ingredients readily availble in the USA. Is there any compilation of diatary plan/recipe's for a vetarian in India? No meat/fish. Pehpas egg may be OK. Ptotein can come from milk and legumes of amny types. Also, grains readily available are Rice, Wheat, Jowar/Bajra [ millet] Nachni, Amaranth, Perhaps oats
I am in research on herbal medicine and many persons ask these questions.

The Carbohydrates in Indian vegetarian diet mainly come from Rice and Wheat which are high glycemic foods. If one can completely substitute these grains with Barley, and add Foxtail Millet to the diet the results can be amazing. Generous addition of moong dal, channa dal, kabuli channa, urad dal along with green vegetables excepting potatoes, and some yams can give the variety and remove the boredom of eating. Roti made with equal quantities of flours of Barley, Gram and Foxtail millet has a reasonably low glycemic index of 34.
