Can diabetics eat potatoes and polished rice?
Q: Should diabetics strictly avoid potatoes and polished rice? Potatoes are not possible to avoid while making cutlets and puffs. Is it ok to mix small amount of coconut in cooking or else coconut should also be avoided?
A:Some amount of potatoes and polished rice are quite fine for diabetics. Rice and potatoes are not banned. It is more important to avoid all fried food - eg. boiled potatoes are fine but not fried cutlets! Also, you could use coconut for cooking.
