Thanks for very insightful and useful information sir. The information you provide on you channel is really helpful. The good thing is that you are providing this information with Indian context. I have one question. I keep hearing opposite views on Raggi for diabetic persons. Some says that it is not good as it raises sugar while others says that it has high fiber and many other useful minerals etc. so it is good. Can you please cover it in one of your videos ?

[@drvmohan]

Will do that for sure
