Idli, Dosa and Diabetes: A Balanced Breakfast Guide

Idli and dosa, made from fermented rice and pulses, are popular South Indian breakfast foods.

People with diabetes can eat them too, but they need to be careful.

The fermentation process is good for your gut.

Eating too much can raise blood sugar levels.

It's best to pair them with foods like sambar, chutney, or sprouts.

It's safe to eat about two idlis or one plain dosa.

Avoid fried dosas, like masala dosa.

If blood sugar levels are poorly controlled, it's important to be cautious about portion sizes.
