A diet of daliya substituting rice is known to help diabetics reign in their sugar levels! In fact, while working at a doctor's office, I have known a patient who reversed her diabetes by a diet of daliya replacing rice. Of course, she also exercised and took long walks.
Daliya is also high in fibre and is a great source of protein for all vegeterians. Here is the recipe.
