Britannia is marketing their Ragi and Oat Biscuits as “diabetic friendly.” Are they?
Firstly, no food is totally restricted for those with diabetes. However, how many carbohydrates are consumed are an important factor in controlling diabetes and maintaining good health.
Weight, gender, activity level and age all play a factor in the amount of carbs allowed for diabetics but on average 30-60 grams are allowed per meal and 15 grams per snack. Three of these biscuits contain 16 grams of carbs so remember only 3 biscuits is the limit for carbohydrates.
