The researchers investigated DNA methylation at 480 000 points on the DNA and looked at how it affected the expression of the genes in the identical twins. They found that raised levels of fat in the blood and uptake of fat by other organs instead, such as the muscles, liver or pancreas, caused insulin resistance, which leads to type 2 diabetes Also Read - Two amazing diabetes breakthroughs of 2020

Here are some expert tips to follow a diabetic diet

People with diabetes literally have to remember hundreds of things about their diet apart from timings for their medications and checking their sugar levels. No matter how much you try, controlling sugar levels will become a difficult task if these things are ignored. So here are some effective ways to help you remember your diet in a better way, shared by Dr Pradeep Gadge, consultant diabetologist at Seven Hills Hospital, Mumbai.

When it comes to remembering a diabetic diet, you should always think about four things: when to eat, how much to eat, what foods to eat and what foods to avoid completely, says Dr Gadge.

When to eat and how much to eat:

According to Dr Gadge, diabetics should avoid eating large meals. Instead, opt for small, frequent meals. Eat five small meals in a day for better regulation of sugar levels throughout the day. The ideal timing for breakfast would be 9:00 am, for lunch would be 1:00 pm and for dinner would be 9:00 pm. In between, have a fruit at 11:00 am and a salad (limited amount) at 5:00 pm, he explains.

Foods to be avoided completely:

  • Sugar, jaggery (gud) and refined flour (maida) are three prime foods that should not be consumed in any form.
  • Juice of all kinds of fruits should be completely avoided. Read more about Expert tips to follow a diabetic diet
