You are in the middle of any season; you'll find plenty of foods around to add to your diabetes diet. Diabetes or high blood sugar can be efficiently managed through a thoughtfully curated diet. Nature's bounty is full of low Glycaemic foods, which can come in handy to tweak our diet to suit our condition. Indian produce is brimming with fresh guavas this time of the year. For the unversed, this fruit is considered to be one of the best foods for diabetes diet.
The green-coloured fruit, with the seeded flesh inside, tastes great when eaten raw. You are required to remove the seeds though, to enjoy the sweet, juicy fruit with or without the peel.

Instead of just tossing them out, turn those semi-ripe guavas into a delectable Indian curry, which will surprise you with its overwhelming flavours.
