Chaitra Navratri 2023: Diabetics must keep these in mind while fasting

Many devotees fast for all the nine days of Navratri. But if you are a diabetic, know the things you must keep in mind while fasting. 

Chaitra Navratri 2023: Diabetics must keep these in mind while fasting

Chaitra Navratri is going to begin on March 22 this year and will end on March 30. Many devotees fast for all the nine days but diabetic patients must keep some important things in mind while fasting.

Keep checking blood sugar level to stay healthy during Navratri. Include the right amount of carbs, fiber and protein in your diet and get enough sleep.
Buckwheat or Singhada flour eaten during fasting is a healthy option, but instead of having deep fried pooris or pakodas, make bread out of it and eat it with curd as deep fried food increases sugar level.

Diabetic patients can eat khichdi or kheer made of Sama rice. Ash gourd (petha) or white pumpkin can also be eaten during fasting but do not add jaggery to it.
