Take green leafy vegetables.
Take antioxidant rich fruit and vegetables like carrot, cherry etc.

Your father needs high protein diabetic diet. Give him milk twice a day without sugar. Sprouts in morning breakfast. Try to in corporate small and frequents meals. Can also give soya milk if he wish but diabetic one. Include paneer in his daily routine. If he have cough don't give curds or buttermilk. Can give Desi channa it is also good. Can include soya sabji twice week. Soya paneer tofu twice a week. Fruits preferred in morning. No juices at all. Don't give him outside food as it causes infection fast. Give him dal thick twice a day. No spicy foods. No cold drinks. Don't give simple carbohydrates as they increase sugar levels. Avoid using plain sugar. With his height weight reports and diet routine consult dietician.
