Here are some summer drinks for diabetic patients to beat the heat

Summer demands us to infuse cool drinks and food items into our diet that can help us in fighting the heat waves while aiding in reducing dehydration levels. There are many refreshing drinks which you can have during summer to beat the heat like aerated drinks, juices, coolers, and sodas to name a few.

But not everyone’s body is the same and many people suffer from diabetes or other health conditions which does not allow them to indulge in aerated drinks or those drinks which have high sugar content. Diabetic patients are often advised to have a low GI (Glycemic Index) diet to avoid fluctuations in their blood sugar levels.

2. Sabza seeds cooler - Sabza seeds are found in Faludas and are very popular and healthy. Sabza seeds cooler offers various sweetening options and is a natural diabetes-friendly drink. All you need is sabza seeds and add them to coconut water or iced tea. To get the sweet taste, you can add raw honey, rock sugar or jaggery. This will keep the blood sugar level in control.

3. Sattu cooler - It is one of the natural food energisers and perhaps one of the oldest invented drinks in India. Add sattu powder to cold water, then add black salt and some lemon juice to make this a refreshing drink.

4. Barley water - Barley or Jau water is a good choice for diabetics. It contains a high amount of insoluble fibres which helps in maintaining blood sugar levels.
