Not just in India, diabetes is spreading rapidly around the world. According to a study, by 2030, 98 million Indians will be diabetic. Every minute the number of diabetic patients is increasing. Diet plays an important role in controlling this disease.
Many fruits and vegetables are available in the winter season, which help in controlling diabetes. Let’s know about these in detail:
Carrot
In winter season, carrot juice, vegetable and carrot pudding are liked by all. Fiber-rich carrots can be added to the daily diet as it can help manage blood glucose levels. Even though carrot juice may still contain sugar and carbohydrates, it won’t spike the blood sugar levels.
Guava

Clove
Cloves also offer anti-inflammatory, analgesic and digestive health benefits for diabetes. Cloves also help keep your blood sugar levels in check and are known to promote insulin production, further controlling diabetes. A recent study revealed that cloves are also helpful in genetic diabetes.
