In commemoration of world diabetes day the Department of Endocrinology, Diabetes & Metabolism, is organizing a Cookery Competition in an effort to create awareness about the nutritional aspects of diabetes home management. Here is the chance for you to see innovative ideas in the making of tasty low calorie, low fat Millets Recipes for diabetes.
Diabetes is on the rise, yet most cases are preventable with healthy lifestyle changes. Some can even be reversed. Taking steps to prevent and control diabetes doesn’t mean living in deprivation. Eating right is vital if you are trying to prevent or control diabetes. A healthy diet for the entire family would also prevent diabetes in those at risk.
A diabetes diet is simply a healthy eating plan that has the appropriate nutrients, low in fat, and moderate in calories. It is a healthy diet for anyone! The only difference is that you need to pay attention to some of your food choices—most notably the carbohydrates you eat. On this basis of creating awareness among the home makers, Cooking Competition was held on October 03, 2015 at Darling Residency, Vellore.
