If you are an Indian diagnosed with Diabetes, one of the first things that comes to mind is "How many carbs do the standard Indian dishes contain?". This article lists the carbs in some of the most popular Indian dishes. You must still follow the general principles of good diabetic eating which is avoid foods that are high in sugar and carbohydrate values such as rice and potatoes which are very high on the list of staple Indian diets. Tied to diabetes is the risk of heart disease so you must also ensure that you eat foods that are lower in fat and cholesterol.

It is recommended that most diabetics eat between 200-240 carbs/day or restrict their intake to 2000 calories or less. Most nutrition data will provide you nutrition information in terms of 15 g of carbs or 1 serving. The table below also provides the information in terms of 15g of carbs.
