English Arhar Dal (1 Serving (110g)) and Chapati (1 Piece)

Reduce the portion of the trigger food and avoid having a second serving; increase the arhar dal and vegetable portion instead.

Start the meal with a salad of cucumber, tomato, leafy greens, and lemon, then eat the dal before the starch portion.

Add more non-starchy vegetables such as spinach, okra, cauliflower, cabbage, or eggplant to the meal.

Include a protein source such as plain curd, paneer, egg, fish, chicken, tofu, or tempeh alongside the meal.

Avoid sweet drinks, fruit juice, desserts, and sugary chai with or soon after this meal; choose water or unsweetened tea instead.

Take a 10–20 minute easy walk after eating and check your glucose response at the times recommended by your clinician.
