From Assam's tea gardens to the hills of Meghalaya, Manipur, Mizoram, Nagaland, Tripura and Arunachal Pradesh, the Northeast has rich and varied food traditions. Rice-centred meals, sweetened milk tea and more packaged snacks, combined with desk-bound work in towns like Guwahati, Shillong, Imphal and Aizawl, can nudge blood sugar upward. The ICMR-INDIAB study found that about 15.3% of Indians have prediabetes, and most are unaware.
Know Your Numbers
Prediabetes means blood sugar is above normal but below the diabetes range (fasting 100–125 mg/dL or HbA1c 5.7–6.4%). It seldom causes symptoms, so a yearly test is the only dependable check, especially with a family history.
Practical Habits for the Northeast
• Keep a moderate portion of rice and fill the rest of your plate with local greens, vegetables, dal, fish or other protein.
• Go easy on sugar in tea, and on sweet pithas and packaged snacks.
• Use your hills: walk, climb stairs or cycle for 30 minutes a day.
• Include fibre-rich beans, legumes and seasonal vegetables.
