To reach the citizens in their business, they have included the products of Shree Ann which include millet laddus, ragi barfi and ragi biscuits and have started making them and the response to them is very good from the people. As you know that the origin of Shree Anna or Coarse Grain is India and whatever it is at the world level, the year of International Coarse Grain was created last year and After that all these things have started. From the research that has come out in this, it has come to light that the glucose level or sugar level increases much more than the rest and it increases the risk of pre-diabetes in our population which is affected by diabetes. It is not good for them, it is harmful. So for all those people and to manage their sugar especially around the age of forty and after that. These other things are very beneficial, healthy and also diabetes preventives. And they also play a big role in managing the sugar level in diabetes.
