Ans: I think you need to take anti diabetic drugs under the supervision of a physician or endocrinologist. It is clear that diet and exercise alone are not enough in your case. It is important for you to keep your blood glucose levels under control especially in view of a family history of diabetic kidney disease

what is effect of root vegetables on diabetis ? if so which one to avoid totally

Ans: Root vegetables can be beneficial for people with diabetes due to their antioxidant, other vitamins, minerals and fiber content. They help stabilize blood sugar levels and are versatile for cooking. Some root vegetables that you can include in your diet are carrots, radishes, salsify, beets, turnips, celeriac, and rutabagas. However, moderation is key, as they still contain carbohydrates. Eating too many carbohydrates in one sitting can spike your blood sugar. Avoid excessive consumption of starchy root vegetables like potatoes.
