Diabetes and obesity are considered to link with each other and to get rid of both, you can pay attention to eating habits and exercise.
Dine out on weekends and partying late nights has become trend nowadays and Indian people are no exception to that. While eating out, you may go for lot of fast food and junk food which are high in calories and less in micronutrients. Dine out is also associated with lot of sugary fizzy drinks consumption which increases sugar levels unnecessarily. All these may increase the risk of diabetes.
On the other hand, home cooked meals are likely to be healthier than those consumed outside. They are rich in fibers, micronutrients which are essential components of whole diet. There is always less chance of food contamination with home food if you follow proper hygienic practices.
