Diabetes mellitus (DM) is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality, and the disease's prevalence is increasing with each passing day. DM can be prevented and controlled with modifications to the diet, especially by incorporating millet in the diet. Throughout history, eating habits have been recognized for their significant contribution to promoting health and wellness by eating foods rich in nutrients. Millet is an underutilized food crop with many benefits for health, with the most beneficial being low glycemic index, high fiber content, polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA), non-acid-forming potential, and gluten-free. In addition to staple food crops, such as wheat, rice, and foxtail millet, millets are still highly nutritious and beneficial and have great potential to help the world combat the food insecurity many countries face today. Millets are in the top positions of recommended dietary charts with their numerous health benefits and antioxidant properties.
糖尿病（DM）是发病和死亡的主要原因，且该疾病的患病率与日俱增。通过饮食调整，尤其是在饮食中加入小米，可以预防和控制糖尿病。纵观历史，饮食习惯因其通过食用富含营养的食物对促进健康的重大贡献而得到认可。小米是一种未得到充分利用的粮食作物，对健康有诸多益处，其中最有益的是低血糖指数、高纤维含量、多不饱和脂肪酸（PUFA）、非酸性形成潜力以及无麸质。除了小麦、水稻和粟等主食作物外，小米仍然营养丰富且有益，在帮助世界应对当今许多国家面临的粮食不安全问题方面具有巨大潜力。由于其众多的健康益处和抗氧化特性，小米在推荐饮食图表中名列前茅。
