Better swaps if you have diabetes
The single best packaged Indian snack for all three conditions.
Light, low GI, high satiety when roasted rather than fried in ghee.
Besan and curd base, steamed not fried.
Can I eat maggi every day with diabetes?
Daily is not a good idea. Refined maida, high sodium, no protein. Keep it occasional — millet noodles with egg and vegetables, or just eat something else.
What is the glycemic index of maggi?
Maggi has a glycemic index of approximately 70, which puts it in the high range. At a typical serving of 1 serving, the glycemic load works out to about 21 — high. Glycemic load is the more useful number, because it accounts for how much you actually eat.
What should I eat maggi with if I have diabetes?
Millet noodles with egg and vegetables, or just eat something else. As a general rule, adding protein — curd, eggs, sprouts, paneer or nuts — to any carbohydrate meaningfully lowers the glucose response of the whole meal.

If you take insulin or a sulfonylurea (glimepiride, glipizide, gliclazide), reducing your carbohydrate intake — or adding foods like bitter gourd or fenugreek that lower glucose on their own — can cause hypoglycemia.
