    I am newly diagnosed with Diabetes. Will I have to take up a Zero Carb diet?

    Hi Himani! No, you don’t have to. Carbs form a healthy foundation in one’s diet – they are like fuel and give you energy. Taking them all out is not the only answer. Because they directly get converted to sugars, you might still have to watch the quality and quantity of carbs you are consuming. Always try not to consume empty carbs – choose nutrient-dense carbs. So choose whole grains, fruits as your source of carbs. A diabetic diet is not ‘one size fits all’, each case is different and so are the requirements. So find one that fits you best and that will help you sustain through the lifestyle change.
