Q. Please suggest a non-vegetarian diet plan for diabetes.
Hello doctor,
I am a 37 year old female. I am on diabetic medication since two years. I have attached my reports. Two months ago, my blood sugars were 149 FBS and 154 PPBS. The doctor had prescribed Istamet 50/500 (1-0-1), Gliclapack 30 mg (1-0-0), and Benipack 4 mg (1-0-1). Last week, the sugars were 97 FBS and 100 PPBS, and urine microalbumin was 34 mg/L. The doctor changed the medication to Istamet 50/500 (1-0-1), Gliclapack 30 mg (1-0-0), Benipack 4 mg (0-0-1) and Olkem 20 mg (1-0-0). My BP was 140/90 mm/Hg. He has asked me to do a full diabetic health check up after three months and revisit him. So, please advise the appropriate diet plan.

Thank you doctor,
Could you please advise about non-vegetarian food? Is it allowed to have lean chicken or fish twice or thrice a week? Also, is it alright to have egg whites? Also, which fruits can I have? I also have millets or brown rice. Is this fine?
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
- You can take egg whites or lean chicken or fish twice a week. But, ensure you take boiled, steamed, grilled or roasted chicken or fish instead of fried.
- You can take all the fruits except mango, chiku, muskmelon, and sitafal (sugar apple).
- You can take millets but avoid rice. Limit brown rice to 20 g per day.

Thank you doctor,
Since the micro albumin value is 34, I was wondering if the protein intake should be reduced.
Hello,
Welcome back to icliniq.com.
- You can take tofu as it is a lean protein.
- Reduce your table salt intake.
- Drink plenty of water throughout the day. Dehydration can increase your microalbumin levels. Hydrate with 10 to 15 glasses of water daily.
- Most importantly, maintain a healthy weight always.
