Disclaimer: This post is not medically approved and we can not guarantee the diet plan to be 100% Accurate. However, we’ve prepared this list of Diabetic Diet in Nepali by considering suggestions from different doctors and patients with Diabetes. So, take this post just as a reminder or reference. And, just get an appointment with a doctor or dietician to find out the diet that best suits your Diabetes Type.

What is Diabetes? | मधुमेह भनेको के हो?

Our body gets energy from the food we eat. The food is broken down into the form of energy called “glucose” which is also the term for sugar. Then with the production of insulin from the pancreas, this glucose through the blood reaches our cell and hence the cell gets energy. As a whole, our body gets the energy. In this process, when there’s a malfunctioning, the disease is called Diabetes. So, if your pancreas produces less insulin or your body cannot use all the insulin produced by pancreas then the glucose in blood can’t reach the cells and hence the blood will have High Sugar Level and then the Diabetes you’ll have is called Type 2 Diabetes. Wondering what is the Type 1 Diabetes then? It’s the one in which your pancreas makes no insulin at all.

The Diabetes that is more common in Nepalese is the Type 2 Diabetes. So in this post, the diet plan that we’ll be making will be best suited for patients with Type 2 Diabetes.

Other than these 2 Types of Diabetes, there is also another type of Diabetes that can be seen on a pregnant woman called gestational diabetes in which mother cannot produce insulin to cover the need of both the mother and the child.
