does idli increase blood sugar - #24416

Victoria

I am really worried about my blood sugar levels lately. Last week, I went for a check-up and my doctor said my fasting glucose was a little high. I’ve been trying to eat healthier since then, but honestly, I love my morning idlis! They’re like a comfort food for me, you know? But now I’m questioning, does idli increase blood sugar? I've read various opinions online — some say they're fine because they're made from rice and lentils, while others say that carbs can spike blood sugar. The thing is, whenever I eat idlis, I feel good and satisfied, but sometimes I wonder if they might be causing my levels to rise. My family loves them too, so it's not just me! On some days, I eat them with sambar and coconut chutney, thinking it might balance it out. But still, in the back of my mind, I am just not sure. Should I be avoiding idli altogether? What do you all think? Can anyone share insights or personal experiences? I really hope I don't have to give them up!
