Dear sir i can understand you concern
when it comes to diet,its very important to maintain balanced and timely diet schedule.Diet in diabetes should contain 60-65% of carbs. brown rice can be taken in diabetes but should be limited to a cup.Most of bread made out of whole wheat can be taken in diabetes.
This brown rice and whole wheat contain the same amount of glucose as normal white rice but the realize of glucose will be slow due to presence of fiber in them.
This kind of slow realize will prevent the rapid raise of glucose in your body.
Nuts are very good in diabetes and can be take daily in a quantity of small cup or you can take them not more than 50-75 grams.
This nuts should be a mix of walnuts,almonds,hazelnuts,peanuts and cashew nuts.
its better to prefer low fat milk than full cream milk.
I would like to give some diet tips to be followed in Pre diabetes
1.Avoid all kinds of refined carbohydrates like sugar
2.Take all kind of fresh veggies kindly restrict use of potato and sweet potato.
3.Daily taking green tea is good for pre diabetes as it contains lots of antioxidents
4.No alcohol.
5. avoid all kinds of carbonated drinks they are not good for your bone health.
6.low fat milk can be consumed about 200ml per day
7.low fat cheese and low fat yogurt can be taken.
8. daily you can take a small cup of almonds,walnuts,pista and peanuts which are good for your good cholesterol.
9.daily take only one fruit,avoid banana and mango .
10.you can take protein Choosing plant-based protein, such as beans and legumes more next fish and chicken twice weekly .
11.Alternate days you can take 2 egg white...pls discard yolk(yellow) since it contains bad cholesterol
12.use olive and sunflower oil for cooking.
13.prefer grill than oil fry.
14.occasionally you can take ice creams and dark chocolate
15.take green leafy veggies to avoid constipation.
16.avoid animal protein.
17.It is best to avoid beverages sweetened with high-fructose corn syrup, such as soft drinks or juice drinks

Hi
Diabetic diet is entirely dependent on spliting the meal and not taking anythng in bulk. Never keep stomach full. He can eat in small portions and diet to contain low glycemic food, rice should be in smaller part and diet should have wheat, jowar, rye, oats thats high fiber content and low in fat and carbohydrates. Insted of eating 3 times a day better to eat the same amount in 6 or 8 times that helps bestway.
Thank you
