If you have diabetes, doctors will advise you to avoid starchy foods. However, for individuals managing diabetes, chapati and roti made from wheat are allowed. However, the protein-rich gluten in wheat can lead to increased blood sugar levels when consumed excessively.
Therefore, incorporating almonds into the diet alongside wheat-based foods like chapati and roti could be beneficial. Ayurvedic doctors particularly recommend almonds for heart health and as a potential remedy for chronic diseases.
As almonds contain protein, healthy fats and fibre, doctors recommend that eating almonds mixed with flour will not only help the body but enhance brain function, strengthen bones and boost the immune system.

Diabetes is a disease that occurs when your blood sugar, also called blood glucose, level is too high. Your body uses glucose as its primary source of energy. Although glucose can be produced by the body, it also comes from the food you eat.
Diabetes increases the risk of kidney, nerve, heart, and eye damage and is also linked to some types of cancer. Your chance of getting diabetes-related health issues may be reduced if you take early precautions.
According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), “With diabetes, your body doesn’t make enough insulin or can’t use it as well as it should. When there isn’t enough insulin or cells stop responding to insulin, too much blood sugar stays in your bloodstream. Over time, that can cause serious health problems, such as heart disease, vision loss, and kidney disease.”
Diabetes does not yet have a treatment, but staying physically active, eating healthy, and maintaining weight can be very beneficial.
