Diabetes is a condition that needs strict monitoring. It is a chronic, long lasting illness that affects how the body turns food into energy, where the pancreas is no longer able to make insulin, leading to a spike in the blood sugar levels.

Having said that, diabetes can alter your daily diet. It may mean limiting some of your favourite foods and drinks, while also replacing them with healthy food groups. From non-starchy foods like broccoli, carrots, greens, peppers, and tomatoes to fruits such as oranges, melon, berries, apples, bananas, and grapes, these foods should be added to your everyday diet.

Additionally, grains, lean meat, fish, low fat milk, yogurt can also be incorporated.

Breakfast is said to be one of the most important meals of the day!

However, having diabetes can make preparing breakfast a little tricking. Coming up with something nutritious and delicious at the same time can be a struggle.

That said, here are some breakfast recipes to manage your blood sugar levels.

To make stuffed bajra roti, you must first prepare the dough for the roti and the stuffings.

Knead your bajra flour into a dough and let it rest. Prepare the stuffing with low-fat paneer (cottage cheese), 4 tbsp chopped fenugreek (methi) leaves, 2 green chillies, 1/2 cup finely chopped tomatoes and salt to taste.

Put the stuffing into the flatbread and cook it on an open flame until light brown spots appear on both sides.

Soak 1 cup moong dal in a large bowl of water for 2 hours. Drain the water and blend into a smooth paste. Add 1⁄4 cup curd, whisk and mix. Heat a pan, add 2 tsp oil and splutter ½ tsp mustard. Put 1 tsp cumin, 1 tsp chana dal, 2 chillies, finely chopped ginger, few curry leaves and cashew and saute for a minute. Transfer the heated spices to the moong dal batter bowl. Pour the batter into the idli plate. Do not rest the batter. Steam for 15 minutes on medium flame and serve with green chutney.

Combine all ingredients including oats, carrots, spinach, coriander, green chillies and 1 tbsp oil, along with a cup of water and mix well to form a batter.

Heat a non-stick pan/griddle and use 1/4 of cooking oil to grease the surface. Pour a spoonful of batter and spread in a circular motion. Cook till it turns light brown on both sides. Serve it with some maple syrup.

Add 1/2 cup quinoa in a fine mesh strainer and rinse well. Drain all water and keep aside. Heat 1.5 tbsp oil in a pan, add 1⁄2 teaspoon mustard seeds, ½ teaspoon of cumin seeds, ½ teaspoon urad dal, ½ teaspoon moong dal and stir. Once they turn golden brown, add chopped ginger, chillies, asafoetida (optional).

Next add onions, curry leaves and stir. Once the veggies have blended well, add finely chopped carrots, french beans and ⅓ cup frozen peas. Stir well and mix rinsed quinoa in it. Saute for a minute or two on low heat. Then add water and salt to taste. Cover with a tight-fitting lid and simmer on low heat until the quinoa seeds are cooked. Stir once or twice to keep it from sticking to the pan.

Besides enjoying these healthy, fibrous foods, you must also monitor your blood sugar levels regularly. You can do it at home or go to a clinic for the same. Also ensure that you follow an active lifestyle and steer clear of unhealthy habits such as smoking and alcohol consumption.
