1. Navigating Navratri Fasting: The Navratri festival often involves fasting. Fasting is part of the festival, for the most part, but can be hard for diabetics.

2. Dietary Changes For Maintaining Blood Sugar Levels: Including garbanzos, buckwheat, rajgiri or sama together with other carbohydrate rich foodstuffs can help in giving all the energy needed without really stressing the blood glucose levels. It is difficult to do prolonged fasting, so eating of ghee, butter, low fat yogurt, paneer or tofu and fibrous vegetables together is wise. Sugar, confectionary, jaggery, packaged food, beverage, fresh fruit juice and other rich in calorie foods which mean level of blood glucose will increase rapidly should be avoided.
