Green Moong Idlis ~Diabetic Recipe

We are in the third week of BM#35 and I have chosen the theme healthy recipes for Diabetes . Diabetic diet refers to the diet recommended to the sufferer of Diabetes and consist of high in dietary fibers , low in fats and low in sugar. My Father in law is diabetic and we prepare food for him as suggested by doctors. Normally we tried to reduce the intake of carbohydrates and increase the intake of low carb in his diet . As for diabetic people healthy eating is depends not on what one is eating but also when one is eating . Timing is very important and there should be a balance between healthy eating and timing.
