Unveiling the Truth: Debunking Myths About Ghee and Diabetes

Can a diabetic patient eat ghee?

Ghee, or clarified butter, has long been a staple in Indian cuisine, celebrated for its rich flavor and numerous health benefits. However, with the rise in diabetes cases worldwide, many people question whether ghee is a friend or foe to those managing this condition.

In this blog, we will uncover the truth about ghee and diabetes, debunking common myths and highlighting its potential benefits.

Myth 1: Ghee Causes Weight Gain

Reality:

While ghee is high in fats, it doesn’t necessarily lead to weight gain when consumed in moderation. Ghee contains healthy fats, including short-chain and medium-chain fatty acids, which can aid in weight management by promoting satiety and reducing overall calorie intake.

Including a small amount of ghee in a balanced diet can actually support weight loss efforts.

Myth 2: Ghee Raises Blood Sugar Levels

Reality:

Ghee itself does not contain carbohydrates or sugars, meaning it does not directly impact blood sugar levels. When included as part of a balanced diet, ghee can help stabilize blood sugar levels by providing a source of sustained energy and reducing the glycemic load of meals.

Combining ghee with high-fiber foods, proteins, and vegetables can further aid in maintaining stable blood glucose levels.
