Manoria at the World Congress Cardio Kidney Metabolic (WC CKM) Medicine 2026.\nThis interview tackles the most common dietary myths in diabetes management, providing evidence-based guidance on fruits, jaggery vs. sugar, the role of millets, and the truth about dairy consumption.\nTop 5 Takeaways:\n1 The Mango Protocol: Diabetics can enjoy mangoes in moderation (one medium size) if consumed as a snack with nuts/seeds—never as a juice or with a main meal.\n2 Jaggery is Not \"Safe\" Sugar: Jaggery and white sugar have identical calorie and carb counts; replacing one with the other will still cause blood glucose spikes.\n3 The Millet Nuance: Unpolished millets (Barnyard, Foxtail, Bajra) are superior to rice, but high-glycemic preparations like Ragi porridge should be avoided.\n4 Pairing for Stability: Always pair fruits with proteins/fats (nuts and seeds) to slow down glucose absorption and maintain stable energy levels.\n5 Probiotic Advantage: While skim milk is acceptable, yogurt (dahi) is specifically noted for being cardio-friendly and potentially reducing diabetes risk.\nSheryl Salis is a renowned Registered Dietician, Certified Diabetes Educator, and Founder of Nurture Health Solutions. She is a leading expert in medical nutrition therapy and metabolic health.\nDr. P.C. Manoria is the Executive President for the World Congress Cardio Kidney Metabolic (WC CKM) Medicine and a distinguished cardiologist based in Mumbai.","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/jJ3-mz6SUELhCtCnwn1FaosE_tPtnqLQTpLM9lGUBps/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9hZWMw/MGMxYjk1NzdhMjQ2/NzE5OWVjNThiOWYw/MTM3Yy5qcGc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
