Why Kolkata needs a diabetes-first meal plan
Bengali cooking is protein-forward (fish, dal, paneer) and mostly low-oil — the weak link is white rice twice a day plus an unspoken sweet after every meal. Our Kolkata plans keep shorshe ilish, aloo posto, and kosha mangsho on the menu, rotate brown-rice days into the week, and structure your mishti so that Durga Puja isn't a glucose ambush.
State-level adult T2D prevalence: ~12.9%. Bengal's signature fish-rice-sweet combo keeps weekly carbs high; sandesh and rasgulla add sucrose load most plans ignore.India is home to approximately 101 million adults living with Type 2 diabetes (ICMR-INDIAB, 2023) — one of the world's largest at-risk populations.
