Is Eating Mishri Safe For Diabetes?#mishri

Are you curious about Mishri and if it's safe for diabetics? 

 

Mishri is a natural and chemical-free form of sugar that comes from sugarcane plants. But if you have diabetes, you need to be aware of the glycemic index, which tells you how much Mishri can affect your blood sugar levels. 

 

Studies show that the glycemic index is important for people with diabetes. You can eat foods with a low glycemic index (1 to 55) and foods with a medium glycemic index (56 to 69), but only in moderation and as part of a balanced meal. The glycemic index of white sugar and mishri is similar at 63. However, it's best to avoid foods with a high glycemic index (70 and above).

 

Some types of Mishri look like regular sugar crystals, but they have the same glycemic index as processed sugar because they're made with sugar syrup. It's a myth that processing makes Mishri less sweet and healthier. The only real Mishri is the kind with a thread, called Dhage wali Mishri. Although it's a little healthier than sugar, it can still cause blood sugar spikes, so it's not a great option for people with diabetes. 

 

Ayurveda, an ancient system of medicine from India, suggests that Mishri is good for overall health. However, more research is needed to determine how it affects blood sugar levels. 

 

If you have diabetes, it's important to talk to your healthcare provider before using Mishri. Additionally, it's best to limit how much Mishri you eat because, at the end of the day, it's still a type of sugar.
