Although diet is a crucial component of managing diabetes, it has generally been disregarded by both patients and doctors. The majority of doctors believe it is difficult to give patients a straightforward diet chart based on scientific data. The majority of textbooks fall short of meeting this need for diabetic management. They simply advise consuming the necessary amount of calories from protein, fat, and carbohydrates. The most challenging step is converting the necessary calories into the majority of food items that are readily available in our nation. Typically, doctors either recommend dieticians to their patients or give them a list of general dos and don'ts. There is a dearth of skilled dieticians, particularly at district-level healthcare facilities. An effort has been made to contrast the Indian diet with the advice given in the textbooks. Finally, a straightforward method has been developed to quickly create a diet chart without a dietician's assistance. The information used in this study is taken from literature on nutrition and medicine; neither human subjects nor animals have been used in any experiments.
